RECORD STORE DAY 2018 AMBASSADORS

RUN THE JEWELS
 

EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT MADE TODAY ON

SIRIUSXM VOLUME CHANNEL’S “FEEDBACK” MORNING SHOW 

The list of musicians who have taken up the duties of Record Store Day Ambassador has grown impressively long over the past decade, boasting such music makers as Metallica, Iggy, Ozzy, Jack White, Chuck D, and St. Vincent, just to name a few. This year’s appointment to the lineage does not disappoint…

Meet Record Store Day Ambassadors for 2018: RUN THE JEWELS.

Today, one half of Run The Jewels, rapper/producer EL-P jumped in with Record Store Day’s Michael Kurtz and Rick Johnson to announce the RTJ’s ambassadorship on SiriusXM’s “Feedback” show, which airs on their VOLUME channel. SiriusXM's VOLUME channel 106 is the first-ever 24/7 talk radio channel dedicated to the discussion of music, and  "Feedback" is the morning live show hosted by Nik Carter and Lori Majewski. The Run The Jewels/SiriusXM broadcast is the first time Record Store Day has ever announced its ambassador on-air.

On-air this morning, EL-P joked when contemplating the string of RSD ambassadors, to-date, “I can’t tell you how proud I am to be the least wealthy Record Store Day Ambassador,” but then in a more momentous tone, he added, “This is a community that I’ve always been a part of, so when I was asked to do it, I said ‘of course!’ I’m honored and it means something to me… I’m really grateful to do this.”

The Run The Jewels/SiriusXM broadcast is the first time Record Store Day has ever announced its ambassador on-air.

Run The Jewels’ Official Ambassador Statement Video hints at a special release for Record Store Day 2018. Check back for more details on RTJ's RSD release and all the others on the Official List coming very soon! 

EL-P and rapper Killer Mike have a history with Record Store Day, having released a 12" in 2015 as a Record Store Day First release, and unique offerings for both Record Store Day and BlackFriday in 2017.
