The New York-to-New England super-group known as CZARFACE returns with their third album of the year. Following a 2018 album with MF DOOM, and early ’19’s LP with Ghostface Killah, the collective of Inspectah Deck, 7L, and Esoteric present The Odd Czar Against Us as a return to core family. No guests, no problem.
The punfully-titled Odds Czar Against Us bookends a masterful decade full of collaborative work that has found artists like DOOM, Conway The Machine, Action Bronson, Vinnie Paz, and Meyhem Lauren bullying MCs and beats with serious aplomb. The group’s recent full-length album continues their tradition of wrestling mics with Esoteric this time doing most of the verbal suplexes, and Deck as more of a Paul Heyman-esque presence.
