Their self-titled 2013 debut on Brick Records launched a sustained run of releases through the 2010s and 2020s. The trio is particularly notable for their use of comic book and superhero aesthetics throughout their visual presentation and album art, with extensive packaging tied to comic book illustration. Their collaborative albums with MF DOOM (2018) and Ghostface Killah (2019) are widely regarded as highlights of their catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCzarface's sound combines hip hop, East Coast hip hop, conscious hip hop, and underground hip hop with 7L's sample-driven production drawing on comic book scores, classic boom bap traditions, and Wu-Tang-adjacent aesthetics.
