Run The Jewels reveal their fake news channel with "Call Ticketron."

Run The Jewels are hip hop superheroes. Their unique breed of hip hop have resonated with old school to new school fans. Both Killer Mike and El-P's lyricism are comical and political simultaneously and their music videos are reflective of those qualities. Earlier this week, they got fans excited when they released an "emergency hotline" on their website and today, they reveal what it was.

RTJ finally drop off their video for "Call Ticketron" off their most recent album, RTJ 3. While fans assumed they may have been hinting at an upcoming album, they instead dropped an epic visual to a stand-out track. The rapper plus their DJ walk through New York City while mayhem and havoc take over the city. The three watch as the apocalypse takes place and an alien spaceship picks up a massive tarantula that's taking over the city.

The video was directed by Brad and Brian Palmer and they bring a 90's sci-fi style to life.
