The reason RTJ doesn't get a lot of mainstream appeal is because they aren't backed by a major label so they don't get much radio play. This isn't all bad though because they have done a good job marketing themselves by getting their songs into video game soundtracks (theres a great song called Mean Demeanor from FIFA), movies (Baby Driver, Black Panther & Venom) and snippets of their songs used in TV show theme songs and commercials. I first heard of them from the show called "This is not happening" who used them as the theme song then I saw a video for Black Panther then I went on a deep dive from there. Now they are favorite band hands down. They are touring when covid is over with Rage Against the Machine it's gonna be so sick! If you want a laugh they were featured on an episode of Portlandia where they played themselves it was really funny.
I hear you. As I mentioned in the video... I heard of them from the Cyberpunk 2077 promo video... and then someone recommended some amazing tracks and I was hooked! It's good to hear they're touring after all pandemic business is over.
Cool videos also for "Dont get captured", "oh my darling", "love again" And the new live version of Walking in the Snow just dropped today from holy calamavote its pretty dope!
I checked out "Oh my darling" here: czcams.com/video/llwem2QbGg4/video.html and I was bloooooown away by this track! Also, it was the second song I listened to from RTJ. I'll add the rest to my list. Thank you.

Check out the version they did of this on Colbert. Different vibe but awesome as well.
Saw them live in Philly for the first show of the RTJ3 tour, best rap concert I’ve been to and I’m 43 so I’ve been to a few
Lucky you! Must have been amazing! :)
Ikey Owens was a musician, he was playing piano on this song, but passed away before it came out
Aaah thank you. I had no idea.
He played keys for The Mars Volta
@@snekinoke38 Cool, cool. Thank you.
Cool to see more love for RTJ.
Absolutely! I'm not stopping! :)
