Inspectah Deck And 7L & Esoteric Are "Czarface" 

"CZARFACE” project will include contributions from Action Bronson, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Roc Marciano, DJ Premier & Large Professor 

With his illustrious career spanning nearly two-decades now, it would be easy for Inspectah Deck to sit back and rest on his laurels; after all, he has helped create some of the best hip-hop music ever recorded. Despite his low-key persona, Deck carved out his own unique space in the Wu-Tang Clan, thanks to his stand-out verses from "C.R.E.A.M.,” "Protect Ya Neck” and his otherworldly verse on "Triumph” among many. Likewise, who could forget Deck’s contributions on Ghostface’s Ironman ("Assassination Day”), his many appearances on Raekwon’s OBFCL, GZA’s Liquid Swords ("Cold World”) or his collaborations with Gang Starr ("Above The Clouds”) and Big Pun ("Tres Leches” which also featured Mobb Deep’s Prodigy).

Throughout Deck’s career, whether it was beside his fellow Wu-Tang brethren or in a solo-capacity, he is as adamant today about his culture and pushing the creative envelope as he was before Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers became an epic masterpiece; hence the formation of CZARFACE, a new collaborative project with underground icons 7L & Esoteric. With rap fans again craving more substance and less polish, Deck realizes there is a tangible shift taking place- "The industry doesn't need another well packaged, put together "act,” instead fans are once again gravitating to the seasoned vets and newcomers that are still true to the game.”

With a working history that dates back nearly as far as Wu-Tang’s, 7L & Esoteric are undisputedly Boston and underground hip-hop royalty. CZARFACE offered the duo an opportunity to pick up where they left off over a decade ago with Inspectah Deck, as he joined them on the title track to their revered Speaking Real Words EP (1999). Deck says "Speaking Real Words is one of the many reasons we are now CZARFACE. After doing that song, it was only right we collaborated on a project to cater to the millions of fans that still support hip-hop from the underground."

With guest appearances from Action Bronson, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire, Roc Marciano & Large Professor, additional beats from DJ Premier, plus album art by Lamour Supreme from Mishka NYC (http://mishkanyc.com/home), you can expect nothing less then top notch production and rewind worthy lyricism from CZARFACE. "We are CZARFACE because they know our faces and they know us for being dope rhyme suppliers, like Tony Montana we are known for our balls and our word; lyrically we will conquer the world and everything in it” states Deck. Esoteric explains further, "CZARFACE is a vigilante, anti-hero character who serves as the face of the project, and his focus is on annihilating the media darlings that the mainstream caters to.”

"I Got A Man" - Maimouna Youssef (dir. Brian "B.Kyle" Atkins) 

Baltimore native Maimouna “Mumu Fresh” Youssef is a singer, emcee, songwriter and poet. She received a Grammy nomination for her contribution on The Roots' hit “Don’t Feel Right” in 2007 for best rap song, and made her big screen debut on Dave Chappelle's Block Party. She has swapped musical licks with such artists as Nas, Dead Prez, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Mos Def. Maimouna released her first solo EP entitled Black Magic Woman on March 1, 2011 and has recently released her first full-length solo album, The Blooming. “I Got A Man” was directed and edited by Brian “B.Kyle” Atkins of Gifted Films, Inc. and shot in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania & Washington, DC. The video approaches the song’s love triangle theme from a unique perspective, showing Maimouna as an embattled independent music artist searching for a balance between the music business and her love for creating free honest music.

Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return To The 36 Chambers Re-Released As Wallet Box‏ 

The Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version Wallet Box includes a re-mastered double CD that includes original album as well as remixes, a capellas, instrumentals, and other rarities. In addition, there's a vintage "On Tour" poster, extended artwork, promotional sticker, detailed liner notes, and an exclusive billfold wallet, where you will be able to put your complimentary laminated Ol' Dirty Bastard food stamp card. "We all knew that if we were going to do this, we had to include a physical version of that card, there was no other way to do it," explains Get On Down General Manager, Rob Reilly. "We really wanted the packaging to compliment the creative genius that is Ol' Dirty Bastard."

For Get On Down, it was important to make sure that the special edition transcend all types of fans. "The box set," claims Reilly, "is a collector's item for people who aren't even collectors." Get On Down, the self-proclaimed "music imprint for music nerds by music nerds," has released and reissued over 50 albums, such as GZA's Liquid Swords and Muddy Waters' After The Rain. But crafting this ODB box set holds a special place in their heart. "We firmly believe Dirty was an icon," says Rob Reilly. "There is truly no way anyone will ever be able to emulate that style of his. The rap game just is not the same without his presence."

Ol' Dirty Bastard's Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version Wallet Box Set will be available for pre-order at http://www.UndergroundHipHop.com, and more information and pictures can be found at www.GetOnDown.com.
