Timeline: How Run The Jewels Came Together

Even though Run The Jewels is a relatively new group in the pages of Hip Hop history, together its members have a combined decades of experience making music. From El-P’s beginnings with Company Flow in the ’90s and Killer Mike’s work with Atlanta’s elite before releasing his debut solo album in 2003, to DJ Trackstar’s masses of mixtapes, the group’s members all led separate but parallel lives that ultimately fused together to create the growing juggernaut they are today.
