Run The Jewels have debuted their first cut as feline alter-egos Meow The Jewels - it's a cat-ified edit of "Early" called "Meowrly".

Produced by BOOTS, the new version features on El-P and Killer Mike's upcoming recreation of RTJ2, faithfully replicated using only samples of real-life cats.

The hip-hop pair premiered the track on WTRJ, their new Beats 1 show, and it's a marvellous twist on their sounds, with purring basslines, yowling percussion and squeaky harmonies.
