What started as a joke and became a Kickstarter campaign and then became a real thing that was happening is meow a real thing that is real and tangible.

Also as promised and hinted at with the previous single release of “Meowrly,” there’s an impressive range of guest collaborators, ranging from celebrity cats (Lil Bub) to celebrity Doggs (Snoop) to underground electronic pop artists (Zola Jesus and Blood Diamonds) to OG hip-hop legends (Just Blaze and The Alchemist). Furthermore, as previously promised, all the proceeds will go to charity. As the duo note on in the liner notes, “together we have managed to do a little good using the stupidest method possible.” How incredible is that? Very incredible. It’s all available for the price of free with your email address over on Run the Jewels’ website, or you can buy the double LP for the full experience.
El-P also commented on the release on Twitter:
