Album lore

RTJ CU4TRO, released under the aegis of Run The Jewels alongside a cadre of collaborators including Nick Hook, Eva Peroni, Chucho Llano, and Yulian Percs, unfolds as a dense assemblage of reimagined cuts from the collective’s oeuvre. The album situates itself at the intersection of hip hop, footwork, jersey club, and grime, repurposing original tracks through the prism of diverse regional and stylistic inflections. Notable is “santa calamifuck (Eva, Chucho, Yulian & Nick Hook’s Versión),” where the quartet’s input reverberates with fractured rhythms and jagged electronic textures, marking a departure from the source material’s cadence.The record’s track list reads as a cartographic exercise in global remix culture, featuring reinterpretations by Mexican Institute Of Sound, Bomba Estéreo, Son Rompe Pera, and others. Each version refracts the foundational RTJ energy through distinct scenes—be it the Mexican bass lineage or the Brazilian rhythmic idiom—while Nick Hook’s recurring presence ties the proceedings together. RTJ CU4TRO’s resonance lies in its ability to archive an expanded canon, where Run The Jewels’ tracks serve as palimpsests for a vibrant network of collaborators and producers.
