Run The Jewels share the Zach De La Rocha collab "Close Your Eyes (And Count to Fuck)."

As far as song titles go, Run The Jewels may have just dropped the best of the year thus far. The amazingly-titled "Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)" also features erstwhile Rage Against The Machine frontman Zach De La Rocha, and it's taken from RTJ's upcoming second album.

As per usual, the duo of Killer Mike and El-P wow with their formula of short, alternating verses chock full of irreverent lyricism, and the latter provides a gritty beat to boot. But the track's best moment comes from its guest, who spits a closing verse that really makes us wonder why he hasn't been out here lashing out at right wingers since Rage broke up. Dude could really stand alone as an MC.

Quotable Lyrics:

It's De La on the cut
Liftin' six on your snitchin' crew
I'm Miles ahead of you
You can sip my Bitch's Brew
My battle status is burnin' matches
From Dallas to Malibu
Check my resume
Your residence is residue
