Czarface's New Video Is Reminder Of Just How Innovative Hip-Hop Is

Czarface has dropped a new visual for "Czarchimedes' Death Ray," one of 14 new singles from the group's recently released album, CZARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (Silver Age/Virgin Music). Directed by Hoku & Adam—best known for their animated video for Katy Perry’s “Harleys In Hawaii"—the visual pushes the creative boundaries of what Hip Hop can do. 

“We needed a visual that captured Czarface's brand of justice and a kid's boundless imagination,” Esoteric said. “But also one that also kept a comic-like pace to match the track.” 

And they succeeded. The video continues Inspectah Deck, 7L and Estoteric's comic book aesthetic while delivering top tier bars and captivating beats. CZARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE arrived on December 1 with guests like Logic, Kool Keith, Nems and Frankie Pulitzer and more. Along with the album release, the trio released innovative lyric videos for each of the album tracks via their YouTube page, including their exploration of the Marvel Universe via the track “Marvel at That (Road Trip)” featuring vocals from Esoteric and his kids. The album has also been shared by Marvel stars including Dave Bautista and Tom Hardy, whose Venom movies feature Czarface songs.

Meanwhile, Inspectah Deck just wrapped up an extensive tour with Wu-Tang Clan, Esoteric recently performed during the Celtics halftime show and Eso sat down with Danny Brown for The Danny Brown Show podcast. Check out their latest below.
