Review

Every so often, hip-hop’s comic-book underworld opens up, and what spills out is pure chaos wrapped in wordplay. Czarface Meets Metal Face feels like that — a meeting of masked minds, where MF DOOM and the trio behind Czarface (Inspectah Deck, 7L & Esoteric) go bar-for-bar inside a technicolor fever dream. The result is a record that sounds like old-school Saturday morning cartoons dipped in molten boom-bap.

The beats hit hard — dusty drums, offbeat samples, and grainy horns conjure up an atmosphere straight out of a B-movie fight scene. DOOM glides through it with his usual villainous poise, tossing out dense, coded rhymes that demand rewinds. Esoteric and Deck match his menace, trading punchlines like panels in a graphic novel. Tracks like “Bomb Thrown” and “Nautical Depth” are packed with vintage swagger, and even the skits — often a distraction on other records — add to the world-building here.

What makes it click is the chemistry: this isn’t a one-off collab, it’s a genuine universe shared between antiheroes. The flow can feel dense, sure, and it’s not an easy casual listen, but that’s the point — it rewards the heads who live for layered metaphors and dusty kicks. In short, Czarface Meets Metal Face isn’t just hip-hop; it’s pulp art with rhythm and rust. - Justin
