Hip hop group 'Run the Jewels,' consisting of [rappers Killer Mike and El-P](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-2), released this mind-altering music video for their highly creative side project 'Meow the Jewels.'

'Meow the Jewels' was born from a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-cap-squeezees) project by the group which promised to remix its latest album using various sound produced by cats. True to their word, they received their funding and managed to create an entire remix album with beats that feature meowing felines.

The group also released a music video for their track "Meowpurrdy" from the album, with visuals that are best described as resembling what cats would look like in someone's worst nightmare. The psychedelic video features a constantly transforming monster made out of [various feline faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-music-box), and finally culminates with what seems to be a battle between good and evil.
