Run The Jewels, the hip-hop duo of El-P and Killer Mike, has revealed the music video for their song on the official Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack.
The single, “No Save Point,” was released earlier in the week, and now we have a video of El-P and Killer Mike performing their respective verses, in a high-effects recreation of a Cyberpunk 2077 warehouse. Every rapper drops their bars, interspersed with clips of performers dressed in full cyberpunk gameplay, loading weapons and posing in Cyberpunk 2077 vehicles.
The effects and visuals are amazing and really prop up the beat on RTJ’s pace and flow. In a pre-premiere interview as part of the Adult Swim Festival, a digital event featuring performances and music videos, the two commented on how to put the track together, which drew them to the upcoming CD Projekt game and their love of science fiction. “I wanted to top it off with something that could be in a Bladerunner sequel,” El-P says of the song’s production. “There is an opening piece and a kind of coda at the end. I wanted to get him into the cyberpunk world and feel like you can listen to this jam in a flying car. “
Several other notable artists, such as Grimes, Refused, and A $ AP Rocky, will appear on the soundtrack. All will function under pseudonyms in the universe; Run The Jewels has acquired the title Yankee and the Brave, after one of the singles from the couple’s latest full-length album, RTJ4, a fictional ’70s television duo that loosely ties the record together.
Run The Jewels hosted the entirety of RTJ4 in October, as part of an effort to encourage voting and raise funds for the American Civil Liberties Union. Cyberpunk 2077’s release date was pushed back (again) to October and pushed back to December.
