SUB by Kyle Rapps I wanted to come with a record that could make suburban hood niggas feel proud, while still showing love to Harlem where I stay. My friend Belief came through with all the production on the tape. Post-Apocalypse boom bap shit, with non-corny sprinkles of trap and electro. I think we dug a little deeper without being all over intellectual and shit. SUB. via Mishka]]> text/html 2013-06-10T11:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4996636/mr-muthafuckin-exquire-kismet/
Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire - Kismet Self-released: 2013 Prior to the release of Kismet , Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire was known, for the most part, in the rap world as the guy who commandeered possibly one of the best collaborative tracks of all time, "The Last Huzzah", featuring Despot, Kool A.D., Heems, El-P, and Danny Brown. In addition to being a killer posse cut, it featured one of eXquire's best verses in his catalogue. After the release of his ne mixtape, Kismet , it seems as if he'll be remembered [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-07T18:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4993908/best-downloads-of-the-week-6713/
Even though some interesting Kanye West news dropped this week, like the fact Daft Punk helped produce "Black Skinhead" and the Yeezy-themed RPG , it was actually someone completely outside of music who takes our top spot this week. Thanks to the team at Late Night With Jimmy Fallon , NBC news anchor Brian Williams became immortalized not for his reporting but for his "rapping." In two days' time, we saw him "spit" portions of " Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang " and " Regulate ". In other news, Gummy Soul got into some trouble [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-06T22:44:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4992141/listendownload-mr-muthafuckin-exquire-kismet/
Brooklyn-based rapper, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, returns with his highly anticipated mixtape, Kismet. Since receiving attention with the release of his mixtape, Lost In Translation , the under-the-radar rapper has notoriously strayed from any spotlight. Production credits range from soul singer, Georgia Anne Muldrow, to the lo-fi Raider Klan rapper/producer Key Nyata, and Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire can be heard rapping over Curtis Mayfield's "Give Me Your Love (Love Song)." The tape features guest appearances from Nacho Picasso, Danny Brown, Flatbush Zombies, among others.

When I think about Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire's output, more often than not, the thing that strikes me as most distinctly impressive is his lyrics. For eX, storytelling with a thesaurus-like grasp of wordplay is paramount. But we don't necessarily use the same yardstick we did in the past in regards to vocab wizardry and the playing field has extended to those who implore simpler language and easy rhyme schemes (Chief Keef, Rick Ross). Flow is seemingly of lesser value, as well, as rappers with static structures to their verses (A$AP Rocky) are still exalted. This isn't a bad thing - [...]]]> text/html 2013-06-05T21:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4989748/mixtape-of-the-week-mr-muthafuckin-exquire-kismet/

Another year, another mixtape. New York's Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire , who's quickly laid claim to the best name and work ethic in the movement, released the brand new 16-track mixtape Kismet yesterday. The whole set, which is available to stream and download below, features another lengthy crew of notable helping hands, including Danny Brown , Nacho Picasso , and Flatbush Zombies , among a range of different producers.

Last month, we announced the details of Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire's long-awaited mixtape Kismet , and now it has finally landed on digital shelves. The collection includes " Noble Drew Ali ," as well as contributions from Danny Brown, Flatbush Zombies, Raider Klan member Key-Nyata, and more.

Crown Heights rapper Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire returns today with his latest mixtape, Kismet . Spanning 16 tracks, it features collaborations with Danny Brown, Flatbush Zombies and Goldie Glo, Heron, Gorgeous Black and Cokey Briccz, and more, along with "production credits" (read: samples) from Curtis Mayfield and Georgia Anne Muldrow. Several preview singles portray a more contemplative eXquire (" Noble Drew Ali" ) who's dedicated to upping his already considerably lethal mic skills ( "Illest Niggaz Breathin" ).

With the promotional trail finally coming to a close, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire drops off his latest free mixtape, Kismet. Sporting 16 tracks in total, the tape is a rather eclectic blend of the many sounds eXquire has been working with. Expect to see features on Kismet from the likes of Danny Brown, Nacho Picasso, and more. And an equally interesting blend of producers as well. Stream Kismet below and download it here .]]> text/html 2013-06-03T19:34:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4985241/kyle-rapps-super-glue-ft-mr-muthafuckin-exquire-video/
Last time we saw Harlem's Kyle Rapps he was being a big-mouthed baby in his "Watch Out" video. His new video "Super Glue", that sees him team up with Noisey favourite Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, is even better: Kyle's free flows and flowing dreads are cut with dirty bits from vintage pornos. It's basically the best chat-up line we've ever heard, with Kyle providing a five point plan on how take a girl home.

Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire has been teasing his upcoming mixtape Kismet for a bit now. And while we've heard songs like " Noble Drew Ali " and seen his video " Nightfall At The Thames ," there was still no concrete information about if or when the full collection would actually come out. Finally, the project has an official release date and it's 6/4. The tape includes collaborations with Danny Brown, Flatbush Zombies, Raider Klan member Key-Nyata, and a head-scratching production credit for Curtis Mayfield. It also features this shortie, "Fat Fool," produced by The Alchemist.

For latest track off his forthcoming Kismet mixtape , Mr. Muthafuckin eXquire finally puts to wax "Illest Niggaz Breathin'".The track's been a live favorite for well over a year now, and was originally intended to be the lead single off the Power & Passion EP . Having secured the proper clearances for the Mortal Kombat sample (no doubt going through Shao Kahn), eXquire eschews his recent clarity and vulnerability for more outright indignation, attacking critics and the world alike with pure venom ("Heard rumors of my demise/But somehow [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-11T22:29:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4945265/the-hip-hop-dojo-vol-8/
While last week's playlist managed to keep things on the lighter side in preparation for the summer, this week's load is a bit heavier. Featuring a wide array of crafty wordsmiths and lyrical masterminds, the eight edition of the Hip-Hop Dojo is bound to get your head nodding and your mind racing. While I won't be elaborating on every track this week, please note that we do have quite a bit of diversity in this group. Most of the names on this list should be familiar to you already, but there are a few newcomers this time around too.

You hear people talk about not giving a f*ck. For many its just a Twitter meme. For others its a way of life. Irreverent Brooklyn MC Mr. MFN eXquire doesn't give a fuck about anything except rapping well, on Noble Drew Ali. He doesn't care about your dress code ( nine chains on my neck, you can weigh my pain ). He doesn't care about pause/no homo ( whup a nigga naked in the club, and laugh at his dick ). He doesn't care about his forebears ( cut from the same cloth as my [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-11T05:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4944417/singles-buffet-thundercat-jon-kennedy-shout-out-louds-more/

Damn it's good to have Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire back in these RH pages after the New Yorker had a short hiatus as he worked on his follow-up album to Lost In Translation with Kismet . "Noble Drew Ali" is the first single form the project and besides the stream available below we also have a cool video featuring "Noble Drew Ali" and an additional Kismet track "The Cauldron".]]> text/html 2013-05-09T21:27:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4942018/mr-muthafuckin-exquire-nightfall-at-the-thames-video/
With "Nightfall At The Thames," Mr. Muthfuckin' eXquire creates a hybrid video for his most recent track " Noble Drew Ali " and new song "The Cauldron." One of the best ways to get a feel for a rapper's rhythm is hearing him or her rap without a track. The first part of the clip features eX spitting "Noble" a cappella from atop a car on a Brooklyn corner. Not only does he totally nail it, but it emphasizes just how pointed he is of a lyricist. The second half plays off of rap video tropes, as well, only with [...]]]>
