"Every hero needs a villain!" #Realrap! Super(hero)group Czarface and the mysterious MF Doom collaborate for this dense, brain-melter of an album. The sample-heavy beats knock hard (shout out Czar-Keys) and Inspectah Deck, 7L & Esoteric, & the masked villain throw constant lyrical blows to the jar w/ their signature styles: the former goes for in-your-face bars, the latter remains abstract and mysterious. Open Mike Eagle and Jedi Mind Tricks' Vinnie Paz make guest appearances upping the ante; these guys are set on keeping hip-hop raw, lyrical, edgy. Check out "Nautical Depth," "Meddle with Metal," "Bomb Thrown," and "Captain Crunch."
