The rock-rap gods have blessed the world with another Ozzy-Post Malone collaboration, the latest track reveal from his upcoming album Ordinary Man. "It's a Raid" is nothing short of a raging riot, complete with the Black Sabbath icon exchanging lines with the rapper about running out of cigarettes before they both yell, "F***!"
This marks the second joint venture between the surprising duo, with Osbourne chiming in on vocals in "Take What You Want," a single from the rapper's 2019 album Hollywood's Bleeding. Osbourne voiced his gratitude towards Post Malone for inspiring him to return to the studio as he shared, "It all started when [his daughter] Kelly came in and said 'Do you want to work on a Post Malone song?'"
"It's a Raid" also samples Osbourne's wicked laugh, which you might recall from his 1980 song "Crazy Train." Ordinary Man, featuring an A-list train of guest stars - Slash and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses, Elton John and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello - comes out Friday.
Osbourne recently postponed the North American dates of the No More Tours 2 to receive medical treatment overseas for his Parkinson's diagnosis alongside his severe fall at home in 2019. His wife and manager Sharon shared his fans support in spite of the announcement.

"I don't want to start a tour and then cancel shows at the last minute, as it's just not fair to the fans," Osbourne shared in a statement. "I'd rather they get a refund now and when I do the North American tour down the road, everyone who bought a ticket for these shows will be the first ones in line to purchase tickets at that time.”
