(Radio.com) What started as a joke is now, well, still a joke, but a joke that is actually going to happen. After making a cat remix album an option as a deluxe version of the second Run the Jewels album, a Kickstarter campaign has successfully funded Meow the Jewels, and it is all systems go.

The magic number was $45,100, which has already been surpassed with 12 days to spare. But El-P, who along with Killer Mike makes up the rap duo, is not happy there, since some of the proceeds are going directly to charity. Specifically, to the families of Mike Brown and Eric Garner, both of whom were killed by police over the summer.

El-P sent out a stream of victory tweets, including some directed at musicians who have already spoken of donating a cat or a hand in the production of the remix album.

After a tweet that read "We did it, you crazy m----s," El-P linked out to this Instagram post showing that the pledge goal had been met. Read more here.
