This will be the first and last time that I post a Talib Kweli song, out of respect to Keith E. E. The GURU. Fuck that “Young Guru” guy for never changing his name, by the way.

I can’t be bothered reviewing albums anymore since everyone that’s interested has already streamed/stolen/ordered it anyway, but I will say that the Czarface album is surprisingly enjoyable. It’s fair to say that DJ 7L is in fine form here, handling the majority of the beats and cuts, while Inspectah Deck and Esoteric display a good chemistry as they share lead microphone duties. “World War 4″ features Deck over “Assembly Line”, which is genius in itself, while the production on “Dead Zone” and “Czar Rafeli” are serious stand-outs, earning this LP my coverted “New Rap That Doesn’t Suck” stamp of approval. Available now through Brick Records.

Best video I’ve seen in a while. A little comedy goes a long way…

The latest from the upcoming Inspectah Deck and Esoteric Czarface album, featuring Action “Bam Bam” Bronson. Pre-orders are available through Get On Down for the deluxe pack pictured above.

Remember when the Rebel INS joined 7L & Esoteric for ‘Speaking Real Words’? The trio are about to drop an album as Czarfaceon Brick, and this first taste has what is now becoming the mandatory Roc Marc feature.
