Heems (formerly of Das Racist) and Riz MC (aka Riz Ahmed, star of HBO’s “The Night Of”) are Swet Shop Boys. Their upcoming album Cashmere is out October 14 via Customs. Following “Tiger Hologram” and “T5,” they’ve shared a new song. It’s called “Zayn Malik.” Listen to the track, see the single artwork, and read Riz MC’s statement about it below.

We got in the booth and pretty much free-styled this track. At the time it just flowed but stepping back I see how there’s a thread in there about aspiration and role models. It’s confusing for our youth about who to look up to; radicals or pop stars, or neither. Somewhere out there Heems is “a college dorm room poster” tho, and maybe that’s something.
