While his Rage Against the Machine bandmates are traveling with Prophets of Rage, frontman Zack De La Rocha has been laying low, apparently hard at work preparing to release a solo project produced by none other than El-P, who is not only one half of Run the Jewels, but also a Company Flow vet and founding member of the indie label Definitive Jux. The first single, “Digging For Windows,” is available for a free download and a mere tease from the often elusive artist.

The lyrics came along with the press release and they are posted in full below:
