The debut collaborative album by the duo, “El-P + Killer Mike = Run The Jewels”, was met with universal acclaim, making a better impression of collaborative rap albums than 2011’s Watch the Throne, which the duo actually refer to on “Sea Legs”.

Mike featured on “Tougher Colder Killer”, the 6th track no Cancer 4 Cure, with Despot and the two aforementioned projects can be found here and here.
