On “JU$T,” Run The Jewels teams up with Zack de la Rocha and Pharrell Williams for a meditation on money and justice. Specifically, the crew wonders how free anyone truly is when they find themselves serving the master named Money and considers the various ways that capital distorts power and warps peoples' value systems.
The track features a bouncy minimalist instrumental reminiscent of Pharrell’s work with The Neptunes (it even includes Pharrell’s signature four-count start) but the production credits include only Wilder Zoby, Little Shalimar, and El-P.
This isn’t the first time Run The Jewels have collaborated with de la Rocha—the Rage Against the Machine frontman was featured on RTJ2’s “Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck),” as well as RTJ3’s “A Report to the Shareholders/Kill Your Masters,” and has performed with them in concert.
