Slipstreaming the Every Hero Needs A Villain LP comes this new video from Czarface a.k.a. Boston underground legends 7L & Esoteric and key Wu-Tang playa Inspectah Deck (or ‘Rappers assemble’ as I like to think of them) for The Great (Czar Guitar).

CZARFACE (Inspectah Deck + 7L & Esoteric): Every Hero Needs A Villain (2015) + Czarface spoof ‘Infomercial’
Rating: 
Every underground needs its heroes and for the surprisingly resilient, comic-book-obsessed, back-pack, boom-bap underground of 2015 that means…Czarface! Yes, it’s the second full-length team-up between nineties Boston underground survivors 7L & Esoteric and Inspectah Deck of hip-hop colossii

Inspectah Deck, 7L & Esoteric a.k.a. Czarface (don’t call them ‘Scarface’) return with the second LP Every Hero Needs A Villain this summer.

It’s a safe bet that if you dug the Boston underground hip-hop lot who came through in the late nineties/ early 2000s – (I’m thinking – 7L & Esoteric, Edan, Mr Lif, Dagha), you’ll dig Boston MC/ producer Will C – even if he is now based in Colorado.
