Though Run the Jewels 3 won't be coming out this year, there is nothing wrong with a little hopeful wishing. And by the looks of it, we aren't the only ones that are excited about its progress. El-P, one half of the duo, released a small teaser of a new song on Instagram with the caption, "RTJ3 is just getting started." Can this be the sign that we've all been waiting for?

 RTJ3 is just getting started.

El-P also posted a little note for fans on Twitter on the upcoming album, "pro tip: we literally just got off tour. we probably have to produce, write, record, mix and master RTJ3 before it comes out." Though they are in the early stages of putting together the album, this is a good sign that RTJ3 may drop in 2016. If you recall, the duo has released an album a year since 2013. Run the Jewels came out in 2013. Run the Jewels 2 dropped in 2014. Meow the Jewels made a huge splash in 2015. 2016 is looking like the year for Run the Jewels 3.
