"Yes, I'm paranoid - but am I paranoid enough?" This quote best fits El-P 's Brooklyn, NY state of mind: uneasy about being uneasy, angry about being angry, sick of being sick, paranoid about being paranoid. After over 17 years defining underground hip hop as head of the pioneering Definitive Jux label, one third of Company Flow, production work with Cannibal Ox, and his previous solo records, El-P has reached Peak El-P. The roads in his mind are curling back onto themselves like a mobius strip and more than ever, most of the verses on Cancer [...]
El-P - Cancer For Cure Fat Possum Records: 2012 "I wouldn't want to be a part of any club that would have me," El-P offers on his stellar new album Cancer for Cure . Let's consider this statement for a second. What clubs has been associated with during his storied career? El-P has always been a great team player. From his beats for masterpieces like Cannibal Ox's The Cold Vein (which still ranks as my all-time favorite rap album) to Aesop Rock's Labor Days from his days as head of Def Jux-he has [...]
![[remix!] Dominant Legs – Make Time for the Boy (Main Attrakionz remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4271428_lg.jpg)
I have been wondering a lot lately: What was my iTunes like before I knew about Main Attrakionz ? I mean... I was pretty late in the game, when I found out about Oakland's self-proclaimed " Best Duo Ever ", but I am so thankful that I am no longer in the dark. Main has been on a constant tear, releasing music at a prolific rate. Yesterday was Squadda B 's birthday and proclaimed #GreenDay . And once again, they got up off some new jawns and officially announced signing to [...]
Today marks the launch of a new Brooklyn imprint called Young One Records . A subsidiary of Paritisan Records, the label has already signed up Bay Area duo Main Attrakionz, Nigerian-American MC Fat Tony, and Queens, NY trio Children of the Night. To kick off their first day in business, the label has released a slew of new or unreleased music from their three artists, as well as Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, Bun B, and Cities Aviv. "Bad Habits" is the first track from Fat Tony's upcoming mixtape, Double Dragon , due out June 1st. It features [...]
![[Interview] Record Producers: The Innovatorz](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4255660_lg.jpg)
A couple months ago we released the Closed Sessions B-Side, "Good Pussy In Chicago", which featured Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire and Goldie Glo. If you are into song credits, you may have noticed that the record was produced by The Innovatorz, a production duo from the small suburb of Bollingbrook that are starting to make large waves in the music industry. If this is your first time hearing about them, don't be too hard on yourself. I was completely oblivious to DJ and Pyro before meeting them at SoundScape Studios not too long before the Closed Session with eXquire. This is [...]
Shit's about to get weird. Kool A.D. fresh off of releasing 51 , a 22-track mixtape , puts together some crazy visuals for "La Piñata." He sports a camouflaged jacket, Oakland A's hat and counts singles, throws singles, clubs a piñata -that's just the start. It's not a party unless Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire and Heems make a cameo appearance, which they do. And they're all drinking 40s and smoking. It's crazy. If you're into Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood samples, live chickens and just dope rhymes this video will serve you well.
Today we bring you our April mixtape for your listening pleasure. Stream it track-by-track below, or head over to our tumblr and download the whole thing. Enjoy! 1. Daughn Gibson - "In The Beginning" 2. Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire - "Position of Passion" 3. Dive - "How Long Have You Known?" [...]
![[Listen] El-P feat. Despot and Killer Mike - "Tougher Colder Killer"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4225440_lg.jpg)
Next month, El-P will return with a brand new LP titled Cancer for Cure , and today the illustrious hip hop figurehead dropped another preview from the forthcoming album. We've already heard " The Full Retard ," and the new cut, titled "Tougher Colder Killer," is equally as banging. The song also features Despot and Killer Mike , both of whom will tag along with El-P on his just announced upcoming tour. Along with Despot and Killer Mike, El-P will be joined on tour by none other than Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire , and [...]
I am sitting in class right now, so I unfortunetly can't give "Tougher Colder Killer" a spin. If it is anything clost to " The Full Retard ", we have another gem on our hands. The new single will land on P's forthcoming full-length effort, Cancer for Cure , which is shaping up to be yet another classic from the producer/rapper. Along with the new track, El-P has a slew of release dates to announce, as he hits the road with Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire and Killer Mike. Sign us up. EL-P TOUR DATES PRESENTED [...]

Last month - that's March, if you're out of the loop - festival season officially ignited. As such, our feet shuffled away from the desks and into the sun and sweat. We were everywhere that had a festival: Cypress Hill Smokeout in San Bernardino, CA; Orange You Glad Festival in Orlando, FL; South by Southwest in Austin, TX; and Ultra Music Festival in Miami, FL. Then there were the dozens of tours that came through our respective hometowns, too. It would be pretty asinine to collate all of that excitement into just [...]

mr. muthafuckin exquire - "two 222s b/w twenty two 22s" (download) From : Brooklyn Album : Merry eX Mas & Suck My Dick! Genre : hip hop Recommended if you like : Wu-Tang Clan, RZA, Necro, EL-P, Danny Brown Worth noting : This track was produced by Necro Buy : Bandcamp (only 5 bucks for 15 tracks!)
This brief track is a freebie from New York's hottest, foul-mouthed rapper Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire . eXquire called it a prelude to his upcoming album, due out on Universal Records after newly inked deal. The track serves as a vent of all the thoughts on eX 's mind in light of his new deal and "position of power," which just so happens to be the beat he's rapping over from 50 Cent . The things on his mind haven't changed much since he started though: women, weed, money, 40s, just add more [...]
Download: The KickDrums - Follow The Leaders (Mixtape)
As the ink dries on a new contract with Universal Records, eXquire finds himself in a "Position Of Passion" for his latest record. Unrefined as always, the Brooklyn MC demonstrates [...]
The Kickdrums have quickly solidified themselves as a production duo worth messing with. For their latest endeavor, the Follow the Leaders mixtape, the guys have recruited everyone from Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire to Lana Del Rey . But wait, Lana couldn't make it because of label issues. Oh well. Other features include Freddie Gibbs, Yelawolf Machine Gun Kelly, Casey Veggies, Big Pooh, and more. Let's just hope the Kickdrums get the shine they deserve, because this star-studded cast sure does have potential to steal the limelight. Click here to download the mixtape .
