There is only one band that has survived the whole 'rap-rock' genre onslaught and that's Rage Against the Machine. Yeah, there’s still 311...but they suck now. Anyway, while Rage got back together for a few festivals and off dates, lead singer Zack de la Rocha has emerged (finally) with a solo album. After doing guest apperences with ?uestlove, Trent Reznor, DJ Shadow, Saul Williams, Blacklicious, and Dead Prez, you'd expect him to come out with a new album any month now. But that wasn't the case, in fact he decided to play with Rage again rather than release the long delayed solo disc.

Now the wait is over. According to Billboard.com; Rage Against The Machine vocalist Zack De La Rocha has completed his first solo album, on which he has been working on and off since first leaving the band in 2000. Billboard.com has learned that De La Rocha worked extensively on the as-yet-untitled project with former the Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. Sources familiar with the album say it features De La Rocha playing keyboards and that the sound is a hybrid of "Led Zeppelin and Dr. Dre. Some of it has the power you'd expect from him in Rage."

Well I know you're getting a Zack de la Woodie right now, but these are the only tracks we can guess will sound remotely like the new album. Also, there is no label releasing it yet, so there is no release date either. So stay tuned. I want to know as much as you do. Except for you people who don't like Rage...you're just white trash Republicans.
