Run The Jewels Take Acid, End Up in Police Lineup in “Legend Has It” Video

The first video from Run The Jewels‘ excellent RTJ3 album has arrived—and it comes loaded with everything we love about the duo.

Delivering a political message without losing any entertainment value, El-P and Killer Mike are able to slyly crtiticize the justice system while keeping us engaged with a wild acid-themed visual complete with a stuffed bunny.

Director Brian Beletic explains, “The video for ‘Legend Has It’ plays with the theme of guilty until proven innocent. We live in a world where the stronger the truth the greater the opposition. In this story EL-P and Killer Mike are in a police lineup and the cards are stacked heavily against them. But why is that?”

For anyone concerned, RTJ add, “No bunnies were hurt in the making of this video.”

Watch the video above and check out their performance of “Legend Has It” on Fallon below.
