The soon-to-be acclaimed group found out quickly that there was a groundswell of hip-hop fanatics thirsting for the lunchpail, lyrics-above-all-else rap they fell in love with in the 90s. Several pressings of the album on CD, 2-LP and even cassette later, they are back and ready to up the ante.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This time around the group is the same, but its fair to say that all three men have stepped up their game. We knew how we felt about the last album, but werent sure how it would be received by listeners, explains MC Esoteric. But people really responded to it, even more than we had hoped. That gave us the confidence to really spread our wings and let loose on this one. The chemistry is even tighter this time around. We know exactly what lanes we are cruising in and what weight class we are fighting in for Round 2.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Inspectah Deck adds, Czarface is like the Danger Room for the X-Men, I can use all my weapons on there. When I'm in Wu-Tang, I have to come a certain way because we have a certain style of fan, when I'm here doing the Czarface projects, it allows me to actually be an MC, it allows me to actually just spit...I love that. I love when i can just spit freely and just be an MC.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The fighting analogy – whether drawn from pugilism or 80s wrestling, both which figure into Every Hero Needs A Villain – is an apt one, considering the unrelenting lyrical attacks that Deck and Esoteric unleash on track after track, each trying to one-up the previous verse. Best of all, it is friendly camaraderie, based around a loose theme of renegade mutant MC talents running wild. DJ 7L explains, All three of us is influenced by comics, sci-fi movies, TV, wrestling. Czarface encompasses all of that, and it helps with the visuals as well.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On the production side, 7L and Spada4 show yet again – as with the groups debut – to be a stellar team, as they provide hard, funky and alternatingly ominous backdrops for the assembled MCs to use as lyrical luge paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Track List:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. \"Don the Armor\" 1:18\u003cbr\u003e2. \"Czartacus\" 2:37\u003cbr\u003e3. \"Lumberjack Match\" 2:46\u003cbr\u003e4. \"Nightcrawler\" (featuring Method Man) 3:22\u003cbr\u003e5. \"World Premier\" (featuring Large Professor) 2:50\u003cbr\u003e6. \"The Great (Czar Guitar)\" 2:25\u003cbr\u003e7. \"Red Alert\" 3:46\u003cbr\u003e8. \"Junkyard Dogs\" (featuring JuJu) 3:33\u003cbr\u003e9. \"Sgt.

Fresh off the heels of their collaboration with Marvel Comics the trio continues to combine music and art with their latest release A Fistful of Peril. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe back story of this album begins in the summer while Deck and Esoteric were in the studio recording some new Czarface material. During this time Marvel Comics had reached out to Czarface wanting some music to soundtrack their Black Panther web series, promoting their breakout comic of the same name. This Marvel meeting spawned the lead track All in Together Now and served as the primary inspiration for a fleshed-out album that nobody saw coming. The group camped out in the studio playing beats, talking comics, video games, and pop culture....what came about was A Fistful of Peril.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStarting the album off with the ARP keyboard odyssey of Electric Level 1 is like entering the vortex of color and light in Kubricks 2001. The aptly titled Two in the Chest showcases Deck \u0026amp; Esos ability to deliver punchlines and pop culture references with ease over an exceptional bass and guitar combo. Czar Wars has the two sparring back and forth bringing that X-Men\/Danger Room mentality that Deck often to refers to when in Czar-mode. Psycho Les of The Beatnuts steps in on Dust while Lizard City introduces Czarface Pajamas. Yes you read that correctly. The off-kilter Steranko has Meyhem Lauren and Rast join forces with Czarface as they weave their way through a mind-bending array of varying beats. Other features on the album are Conway on Machine, Man \u0026amp; Monster and AOTPs Blacastan on Tarantulas. Another one of the albums highlights is Dare Iz A Darkseid which along with Talk That Talk is the perfect balance of wit and humor that make up the core of Czarface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilding on an already rock solid foundation with two critically acclaimed albums, A Fistful of Peril features some of the groups most cohesive material. The chemistry between the hungry-as-ever Deck and Eso overflows as the two mcs trade lines, humor and plenty of razor sharp lyrics over the backbone of 7L and Todd Spadafores production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Fistful of Peril in a word?

Piñata, a 17 track collaboration with producer Madlib, is the best distillation yet of his transparent approach to making music, combining an at times stark honesty with electrifying talent as a lyricist and performer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Piñata is a gangster Blaxploitation film on wax, says Gibbs, who came up on the streets of Gary, Indiana, the disregarded city previously best known for producing Michael Jackson. Here he is joined by Mac Miller, Earl Sweatshirt, Raekwon, Scarface, Domo Genesis, Ab-Soul and a host of others in setting his soliloquies of the streets alongside film snippets and dusted funk, soul and prog musical tapestries. While this is the latest in a series of single-artist collaborations for Madlib, after Jaylib (J Dilla), Madvillainy (MF Doom) and the street-centric O.J. Simpson with Detroits Guilty Simpson, the pairing is unique as it is the first time for Gibbs working with just one producer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e On Piñata, where Gibbs can shift from textbook lessons in robbing and drugging on trackslike Scarface and Knicks, to perhaps the albums most personal song, Broken, a collaboration with Scarface, who, along with Tupac, DMX and 50 Cent, make up the rappers own Mount Rushmore of MCs (Youre getting a hurricane of all those motherfuckers hitting you at once when you listen to Freddie Gibbs, he says). Deeper, a Gibbs favorite and the third single from the album after Thuggin (2012) and Shame, (2013) is an ode to hip-hop in the mold of Commons I Used to Love H.E.R.; High, featuring Danny Brown, is self-explanatory and just what you would expect from Gibbs, Madlib and one of Detroits finest; while on Real, Gibbs addresses an old score just as Michael Corleone settled all family business on baptism day.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As a producer, Madlib, quite simply, is music, and ten years into his career-a time when other artists become comfortable-Gibbs remains restless, focused, with an eye on the competition and their position relative to his ascent. This is because mentally, hes still on the corner hustling, which would be the downfall of the average rapper. With Piñata, Gibbs confirms that he is anything but average.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Supplier\u003cbr\u003eA2 Scarface\u003cbr\u003eA3 Deeper\u003cbr\u003eA4 High feat Danny Brown\u003cbr\u003eA5 Harold's\u003cbr\u003eB1 Bomb feat Raekwon\u003cbr\u003eB2 Shitsville\u003cbr\u003eB3 Thuggin'\u003cbr\u003eB4 Real\u003cbr\u003eB5 Uno\u003cbr\u003eC1 Robes feat Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt\u003cbr\u003eC2 Broken feat Scarface \u003cbr\u003eC3 Lakers feat Ab-Soul\u003cbr\u003eD1 Knicks\u003cbr\u003eD2 Shame feat BJ the Chicago Kid \u003cbr\u003eD3 Watts feat Big Time Watts \u003cbr\u003eD4 Piñata feat Casey Veggies, Domo Genesis, G-Wiz, Mac Miller, Meechy Darko, Sulaiman \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Madlib \u0026 Freddie Gibbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1733701402639,"sku":"ZZ-MMS022-LP","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/Pinata.jpg?v=1589814705"},{"product_id":"delorean-cd","title":"Delorean (CD)","description":"\u003cbr\u003e The son of Legendary Hip Hop Lyricist Big Pun is releasing his debut album.

The first single Grindin impacted the streets with its bare boned but infectious drum beat in the same way that Sucker MCs did almost 20 years earlier. These brothers - Pusha T and Malice combined with The Neptunes groundbreaking production sent a clear message to the rap world – we are not the same (as rapped by Malice on his opening verse on Cot Dam). Clipse brings an authentic Virginia sound into the game and created a movement, with not only their darkly layered raps but The Neptunes as well. Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo were able to combine their cyberpunk production with just the right group to create a street masterpiece. Following in the footsteps of such rap criminologists as Kool G Rap, Nas, Jay-Z, and Mobb Deep, the Clipse offer the Virginia hustlers viewpoint with clever, hard-hitting lyrics that is sprinkled throughout the entire album.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With so many standout tracks on Lord Willin the album starts pulling no punches. On Track 1 simply (or maybe not) titled Intro you get a very personal and deep testament of crack and the drug game, a theme that is throughout this album…HEAVY. Songs like Virginia or Im Not You (featuring Jadakiss, Styles P and Roscoe P Coldchain), have lyrics that play as a musical notes alongside The Neptunes tailored beats. Young Boy, Comedy Central… all fit perfectly alongside When the Last Time and Cot Dam as each song plays its part as chapters to the Lord Wilin masterpiece. Gangsta Lean (another one of the albums standout tracks) features a slightly lighter feel while paired with Pharrells trademark falsetto hook. The truth of it is, its hard to just pick one track, or point out which is the albums star. Each song on Lord Willin is essential to making it the classic that it is. The Neptunes (who were busy turning out every other Pop hit on the radio) crafted an album that was deemed an instant classic, and cemented Clipse as Raps newest superstars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 Intro \u003cbr\u003eA2 Young Boy \u003cbr\u003eA3 Virginia \u003cbr\u003eA4 Grindin' \u003cbr\u003eB1 Cot Damn feat Ab-Liva, Roscoe P.

In The Mob We Trust paired the TCF bossman with Oakland native Joe Blow. This extra prolific spitter is the protege of Mob Figaz capo The Jacka (Rest In Power).

This album more than any other I reviewed this month makes me regret Dilla is not still around today - I just know that Sands and Dilla could have combined their J's together for an original album as good as this one if not better.\" - \u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.rapreviews.com\/archive\/BTTL_jsandsjdilla.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRap Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e- A two-part vinyl release.   This is sides A \u0026amp; C.  Sides B \u0026amp; D will be released later this year.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e- Posthumous project from 2007, never released commercially until now.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e- J Sands is a member of the group Lone Catalysts\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e- Promo video \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4bMLNUpx1T8\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\"Truly Yours\"\u003c\/a\u003e out now in all outlets featuring guest appearances from Grap Luva \u0026amp; DJ Kool Flash\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e- One of the last projects included in the J Dilla anthology.\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"J Sands \u0026 J Dilla","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29151870386199,"sku":"ZZ-BUKAMRS1-LP","price":29.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/MrsSandsCoverACSticker.jpg?v=1560890240"},{"product_id":"the-thrill-of-the-hunt-cd","title":"The Thrill Of The Hunt (CD)","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL TRACKS PRODUCED BY 38 SPESH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nWhile there are plenty of ladies repping in Hip-Hop in 2019, it still seems like a prerequisite for them to show some T\u0026amp;A to get ahead. Well, the Buffalo born and raised master of ceremony known as Che Noir is about to change all that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot since the mid-‘90s has there been such a strong earth in the game that doesn’t use sex to sell. She is reminiscent of hardcore female emcees that held it down in the Golden Era like Bahamadia, Lady of Rage, and Heather B. Noir has the ideal mix of bars, flow, and engaging content. And although she has only been on the scene for three years, this 24 year-old is already recognized as a problem. She has shared the mic with her label boss 38 Spesh, Benny The Butcher, Elcamino, Jamal Gasol, and she has more than held her own on each and every song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo prove how nice she is, Che gave listeners the 'The Thrill of the Hunt' mixtape last year, which had her ripping up classic East Coast beats like Fabolous’s “Breathe,” Total’s “Can’t You See,” and NORE’s “Banned From TV.” Then, she was invited to appear on 38 Spesh’s 'Son of G Ra' album on the DJ Premier-produced “Young 1s,” which also featured Anthony Hamilton. Her ill verse on that cut lead to her guesting on every 38 Spesh project since, including '38 Strategies of Raw' and '5 Shots'. Further, she is a major presence on the recently released 'Trust Tape 3', catching bodies on five of the album’s fourteen songs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, it’s time to hit heads with the next phase of her evolution, 'The Thrill of the Hunt 2'. This offering is wholly produced by 38 Spesh and offers listeners a taste of what’s to come. This is the drop that will set her apart from the comp. It features appearances by Eto, Planet Asia, Termanology, and of course Spesh himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you stay up on The Joe Budden Podcast with Rory \u0026amp; Mal, you know the team up there loves her. And her buzz in the streets has reached deafening levels. Despite all that, it will only take one listen to 'The Thrill of the Hunt 2' for you to make up your own mind that Che Noir got next.","brand":"Che Noir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29228564643863,"sku":"ZZ-TCF006-CD","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/products\/a1214979312_16.jpg?v=1562010299"},{"product_id":"53cree-bad-luck-lp","title":"53Cree: Bad Luck (LP)","description":"53CREE: BAD LUCK is the debut full-length by Buffalo seasoned emcee Lucky Seven, entirely produced by himself and featuring guest appearances by buzzing Griselda artists Conway, Benny The Butcher and ELCAMINO, as well as other local Buffalo acts Billie Essco, Young Squire, Mitch Arizona and Braden Blair.
