Killer Mike and El-P blessed the world with the Run the Jewels 2 album last week, so it was only right that the world show its appreciation for the project and for the duo in general. Run the Jewels launched "Tag the Jewels" as a global street art project, inviting 30 artists across six continents to create and share their rendition of the album cover art by Nicholas Gazin which features two hands, one forming a gun with its fingers and the other handing over a gold necklace.

Sepe, Sofles, Ox, Mila K, Low Bros, Dasic Fernandez, and Statik are just a few of the talented painters involved in the project. Photos of the completed murals have been steadily uploaded to the official "Tag the Jewels" Tumblr, along with links to the artists' social media pages and an interactive map that includes the location of each piece. Check out a few of our favorites below, and follow the blog for updates.
