But any elation about new tunes proved to be short-lived: an hour later, the producer/MC suggested on Twitter that RTJ3 is unlikely to see daylight this year due to the group's grueling tour schedule. El-P also blamed his perfectionist instincts for the delay.

Most of the duo's upcoming performances will be in Europe, but they're hitting a few festivals in America. Check out the dates here.
