Run The Jewels Rage With Zack De La Rocha On “Close Your Eyes”

“We killing them for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom/ And even if some good ones die, fuck it, the lord will sort em.”—Killer Mike

October 13, 2014

Killer Mike and El-P continue to make the most of their partnership with the thrilling "Close Your Eyes," pulling in an instantly Twitter-trending verse by Rage Against the Machine's Zack Da Le Rocha, which premiered today at Buzzfeed. Killer Mike opens the festivities—We killing them for freedom cause they tortured us for boredom/ And even if some good ones die, fuck it, the lord will sort em—and tag-teams bars with his partner. Zack Da Le Rocha doesn't take the opportunity to quite back-and-forth with Mike or El-P, but his verse doesn't let up an ounce of their passion, linking up his resume, "honey dick," and shutting down factories. Run the Jewels 2 comes out October 27th via Mass Appeal. Below "Close Your Eyes," watch their performance this summer at vitaminwater #uncapped.
