New Run The Jewels Single Features Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine [LISTEN]

The new Run the Jewels single "Close Your Eyes (And Count To F--k)" is live, which means Zack de la Rocha is on a mainstream joint for the first time since his 2008 one-off project One Day As a Lion.

The former Rage Against the Machine singer/rapper/shouter is back to help his boys El-P and Killer Mike with a verse that's pure #FireFireFire. Showing off more of a rap-centric flow and softer delivery than he usually displays, the 44-year-old tears it up with lines like these:

Yes aggressively tested with stretchers and penalties
Cases with face and the cop pleads when we seizin' a punk
Reason to dump on you global grand dragons
Still pilin' fast, plus Afghani toe taggin'
Now they trackin' me and we bustin' back seat
Only thing that close quicker than our caskets be the factory

The Z to the D also provides the hook, which loops throughout the song, "A Milli" style. Checka checka check it out:
