Our Take
Our Take
From the dark depths of the underground hip-hop scene emerges CZARFACE, the enigmatic trio consisting of Inspectah Deck, 7L, and Esoteric. Their sophomore album, Every Hero Needs A Villain, is a comic book come to life, filled with witty lyricism and boom-bap beats that hit harder than a superhero’s punch.
The album kicks off with the ominous track "Don the Armor," setting the tone for the epic journey that lies ahead. CZARFACE’s penchant for storytelling shines through on tracks like "Ka-Bang!" and "Deadly Class," where they paint vivid images of battles between heroes and villains.
But it’s not all serious business with CZARFACE. The trio injects humour into their rhymes, with witty wordplay and clever references that will have you nodding your head and chuckling at the same time. Tracks like "World Premier" and "Escape from Czarkham Asylum" showcase CZARFACE’s ability to keep things light-hearted while still delivering hard-hitting bars.
Every Hero Needs A Villain is a love letter to comic book fans and hip-hop heads alike. CZARFACE effortlessly blends their love for both worlds, creating a sound that is uniquely their own. So grab your cape and mask, because CZARFACE is here to save the day with their infectious beats and razor-sharp rhymes. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this wild ride.
