Violence ensued at Run The Jewels’ SXSW show in Austin yesterday (16 March) after an audience member invaded the stage and attempted to assault El-P. Amateur footage shows the man’s attempted attack and him fighting with Run The Jewels’ entourage. Killer Mike also led a ‘fuckboy’ chant from the stage. Watch the clips and read El-P’s tweet below.
