#34
Czarface & MF DOOM
| Czarface Meets Metal Face
Get On Down

According to Jesse Ducker: “On a conceptual level, the team-up works. Czarface, the musical throwback to Jack Kirby-era Super Heroes teaming with the Metal-Face Villain himself. But the collaboration also makes sense on a musical level. Much like DOOM, Czarface have loaded their albums with references to comic books, cartoons, professional wrestling, sci-fi flicks, and semi-obscure pop culture ephemera. And though DOOM’s production usually skews towards samples of quiet storm R&B and TV soundtracks, he sounds comfortable over Czarface’s grimey yet spacey soundscapes.

Czarface Meets Metal Face doesn’t reinvent the wheel and it really doesn’t need to. There’s just something to be said for all three emcees delivering the exact type of album that their longtime fans hoped that this collaboration would bring. Offering your audience what it’s looking for and then delivering upon that offer is a feat worth celebrating.”
