Twenty lucky fans who came through to Run The Jewels’ meet and greet at Rough Trade Records yesterday got the opportunity to attend a Mass Appeal-sponsored screening of seminal NYC film “The Warriors” and a Q&A with the group moderated by Sacha Jenkins in celebration of the release of their sophomore album “RTJ2.”

Even considering the free popcorn tins with 7″ vinyl singles in them and a preview of the upcoming music video for single “Blockbuster Night Part 1,” Nas’ appearance was far and away the biggest and most crowd-pleasing surprise of the night. Though brief, his visit had a purpose: to flex some new music. The track, featuring production from the late J Dilla, gives Jones a soundboard to talk about some issues (never being able to rest easy, waving off claims that Jay Z and Jay Electronica write his music) and even makes room for a shout out to OG Maco‘s “Bitch U Guessed It.”
What was already a fantastic night was pushed over the edge by Nas’ visit. No release date has been given for “The Season” yet, but check out the snippet below! Download RTJ2 here.
