If It's Too Loud...

Czarface, the hip hop supergroup comprised of Inspectah Deck, Esoteric, and 7L, have a new album due out Friday, but for those of us who can't wait that long, there's a new single out now. "Czarchimedes' Death Ray" isn't just one of the best song titles in recent memory. Czarface has always explored the worlds where hip hop and nerd culture meet, and this song is no exception. They're one of the few groups that truly doesn't sound quite like anyone else. This is a fun and clever hip hop song that proves hip hop with skills can exist, and not just be a novelty act. Czarface are going to be blowing up a lot of journalists' pre-made year end lists this week. Esoteric says of the new single: “We’re back with that off-kilter no filter.  Czar never resorts to conventional weaponry, thus the illustrious Death Ray – a sonic homage to the Greek mathematician Archimedes.”  You can watch the lyric video for "Czarchimedes' Death Ray" below.

Maybe it's because Czarface is more comic book inspired than kung-fu film inspired, but "You Know My Style" sounds like its very own thing. These days December is usually a wasteland of musical new releases, but Czarface are going to make sure music journalists don't pre-write their year end lists until well into December this year. Esoteric says of the collaboration with Nems: "Having known Nems for years, this collaboration was way overdue, and we knew he'd deliver what we've all cut our teeth on, that East Coast raw shit.  We're excited about sharing it with the masses. ”  You can watch the video for "You Know My Style...
