Yesterday (January 15) marked the one year anniversary of the death of Cranberries frontwoman Dolores O'Riordan, and Vic Mensa marked the occasion with a cover of the Irish band's classic song "Zombie."
 
The Chicago rapper released the song under his 93PUNX moniker, which he describes as "a band I created to express things outside of rap."
 
As for his decision to cover the track, Mensa explained in a press release, "We connected to 'Zombie' because we were born from violence."
 
The Cranberries' original version was inspired by the 1993 Warrington bomb attacks by the Provisional Irish Republican Army.
 
Listen to Mensa's 93PUNX rendition of "Zombie" below.
