Every Hero Needs a Villain

Czarface

Hard-hitting boom bap meets silver-age comic book aesthetics. A gritty, sample-heavy masterpiece of underground rap with sharp wordplay and cinematic production.

It's like a Wu-Tang album if they were obsessed with 70s Marvel comics.

A high-energy, cinematic collision of gritty street rap and colorful comic book mythology.
