Killer Mike and El-P have shared a new virtual reality video for their Run the Jewels 2 single "Crown," via the New York Times' VR app. The duo teamed up with Wevr for their first release on their new VR platform, VRTJ.

Directed by Peter Martin, it's downright creepy at times -- but altogether a pretty cool experience. 

See a preview for the video below, and download the NYT VR app for the full experience. The app is available on both iOS and Android devices. The 360-degree video will be out on Facebook and YouTube’s 360 platforms next month.
