Released 2015
WU-TANG founding MC INSPETAH DECK and veteran duo 7L & ESOTERIC are back with their sophomore album 'Every Hero Needs A Villain' featuring MF DOOM, METHOD MAN, GZA, R.A THE RUGGED MAN, JUJU (The BEATNUTS), LARGE PROFESSOR and MEYHEM LAUREN! In 2013, the trio appeared relatively unassumingly with their self-titled debut, which was chiefly produced by DJ 7L and included guests ranging from GHOSTFACE KILLAH and CAPPADONNA to VINNIE PAZ, ACTION BRONSON and ROC MARCIANO. The soon-to-be acclaimed group found out quickly that there was a groundswell of hip-hop fanatics thirsting for the lunchpail, lyrics-above-all-else rap they fell in love with in the '90s. Several pressings of the album on CD, 2-LP and even cassette later, they are back and ready to up the ante. If that wasn't enough, the double LP is pressed on clear vinyl and comes packaged with "Death & Abduction," a comic written by ESOTERIC, and has an explosive, comic-book-inspired cover by L'amour Supreme (Mishka NYC).
