Jason DeMarco, V.P. and Creative Director of Adult Swim On-Air, also presides over the network’s music division. Along with championing underground hip hop artists like J Dilla and Flying Lotus, DeMarco is personally responsible for one of the most powerful mergers in recent hip hop history: Run The Jewels. It was he who first introduced Dungeon Fam vet Killer Mike to Def Jux founder El-P, sparking a unstoppable creative connection—and a lowkey hip hop bromance—that would eventually lead to the birth of the greatest rap duo since The Throne.
