3. Run The Jewels feat. Zach De La Rocha – ‘Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)’
El-P and Killer Mike are joined by former Rage Against The Machine singer Zach de la Rocha on the brilliantly-titled ‘Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)’. De La Rocha provides the voice of attitude on the typically bumping track from the pair.
The track is available now on the Run The Jewels 2 iTunes pre-order page for the album. Obviously, don’t forget: they play Opium Rooms on December 21st.
Meanwhile, the Kickstarter campaign to make an album version of Run The Jewels made out of cats, Meow The Jewels is happening and has raised over 45K of for charity which means that a throwaway remix album using only cat noises is looking like a reality and will also feature Geoff Barrow, Just Blaze, Zola Jesus, Baauer, BOOTS, Prince Paul, Dan The Automator on production.
