Thats why RTJ drop their albums for free. The money is in fans buying merch, buying limited edition vinyl pressings, appearance fees, licencing the songs to tv and movies touring and concert appearances.
On their own label, they have absolute control of how the money is spent.
RTJ.
Man so many acronyms. Cant know em all.

Return ~of~ The Jedi.
Yeah thats my bad. Run The Jewels.
Presumably not run the jewels as it seems they charge for theirs?
For RTJ 3 and 4 If you registered before the release date they sent a code to redeem on Google Music for the full album for free.
No catch, no strings, no being pestered with marketing emails till the end of time.
So, I just asked a GPT to name some famous bands with the initials RTJ and literally Run the Jewels was the only answer.
Edit: GPT = Good prompt texter.
