Czarface are back with new single, “Czarchimedes’ Death Ray,” a track from their latest Czartificial Intelligence. Available December 1st via Virgin Music and streaming services. The album features collaborations with the likes of Logic, Kool Keith, Nems, Frankie Pulitzer and more. “We’re back with that off-kilter no filter,” notes Esoteric of the new track with lyrics like “Czar that’s the main, character to blame, Leader of the gang / Grab the mic and f*ck it up as though it’s Bert Kreischer’s name.” He adds, “Czar never resorts to conventional weaponry, thus the illustrious Death Ray – a sonic homage to the Greek mathematician Archimedes.”
Czartificial Intelligence combines the essence of OG braggadocio, with introspective story-telling, and high-flying superheroes. Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck, Esoteric and 7L create a dynamic synergy that’s as engaging as flipping through the pages of your favorite graphic novel. Their guests join CZARFACE on missions and side-quests, bringing enough power to warp the space-rhyme continuum. Through intricate verses and captivating production, CZARFACE invites you to journey alongside them, exploring the intersection of cosmic hip-hop and comic book culture. “The new album comes equipped with chaos, order and everything in between,” notes Esoteric. “It’s like a swirling vortex of cosmic carnage, but we bring it down to earth in places. We are, after all, in a new era. I hope what we made resonates with the people.”
The hip hop supergroup – Inspectah Deck (Wu-Tang Clan), Esoteric and 7L – will also release an already almost sold out Record Store Day “Stole The Ball” version of the album today, November 24th. The exclusive limited edition vinyl-only RSD Black Friday version of the album features two bonus tracks and special cover with artwork illustrated by their longtime collaborator, Lamour Supreme.
In addition to the album, the guys continue to keep busy: Inspectah Deck just wrapped up an extensive tour with Wu-Tang Clan; Esoteric recently performed during the Celtics halftime on their opening night of the season at TD Garden; and Eso also recently sat down with Danny Brown for his The Danny Brown Show podcast, among others.
