El-P and Killer Mike first previewed their Run the Jewels project with a snippet of debut tune "Banana Clipper," but now the pair are offering up the song in full.

As we had previously heard, the song sketches out an oppressive boom-bap laced with shrill, Psycho-styled synth slashes. Fittingly, it has lines about how the duo kills the competition, and now features guest bars from Big Boi.

You can check it out down below.

Run the Jewels' debut LP is expected to drop as an online freelease sometime in June via Fool's Gold. Following that, the act will start a North American tour in July that has them hitting Canadian venues in Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. You can see the specifics over here.
