Run the Jewels gave us the greatest Christmas gift of all with the release of their Run the Jewels 3 LP, and now they've let us experience the magic of Christmas all over again by revisiting the project with a new video.

The pair have treated their album track "Legend Has It" to a new video from director Brian Beletic. The clip sees the duo involved in a seriously trippy police lineup.

Beletic, who previously directed El-P's video for "Deep Space 9mm," said, "The video for 'Legend Has It' plays with the theme of guilty until proven innocent. We live in a world where the stronger the truth the greater the opposition. In this story EL-P and Killer Mike are in a police lineup and the cards are stacked heavily against them. But why is that?"

Run the Jewels added a statement of their own, saying, "This video is a worst nightmare scenario. High on acid and caught in the system. Pitted against icons of innocence in a police lineup that doesn't feel real. No bunnies were hurt in the making of this video."
