Zack de la Rocha is one of my heroes. He is a true political activist and lyrical genius. Every single Rage Against the Machine album should be considered essential listening at this point – especially if you are a minority male in North America.
His music helped me find my own voice as youth – one that was smart, aggressive, but sincere.
I’ve always been wondering what he has been up to since leaving Rage Against the Machine and he is currently fronting a band called One Day As a Lion with Jon Theodore from Mars Volta. Truly epic stuff. Check it out. The first EP is currently on the Anti- label.
