After teasing some "filthy, dirty, dusty plans" for a potential fourth Run The Jewels album, El-P and Killer Mike seem to be launching their plan into motion. While many fans were left speculating as to whether or not the duo would be closing out the year with a brand new album, a new development has added fuel to the speculation. Jaime and Mike have been more or less consistently dropping a new album every year (with the exception of 2015), and it wouldn't be surprising to see them dropping something to close out the year. If not, the beginning of 2018 would also be an ideal time for some new RTJ. 

Today, Run The Jewels have shared a new website, with strong emphasis on the 15th of December. If you head over to the website, you'll be greeted by an "Emergency Tip Line." If you call the number, a prerecorded message warns of "strange weather patterns," and implores callers to contact the emergency line with any possible news. Granted, the website does feature many references to Run The Jewels 3, which begs the question of whether or not this is simply a video or deluxe edition announcement. However, the detailed rollout does suggest something with a little more weight, so I suppose we'll simply have to wait and see.

However, the proximity to El's aforementioned #RTJ tweet does raise a few questions. Either way, something RTJ related is dropping on the 15th, so all Jewel Runners out there should keep your eye out for any strange weather patterns in and around your vicinity.
