Mr. MFN eXquire is that one rapper that we don’t know how to explain, but we still enjoy the music. His personality is unique and off the wall, which is shown in the video for his single “The Message 1 & 2”. Just like the song, the video is broken into two parts. The first part features Mr. MFN eXquire in the jungle while his Peel Off crew buddy Mad Daw dances crazily in the background. In the second part, he is giving a fake news report for Al Jazeera live from “RealNiggaria”. This is definitely a video you have to see to believe. Enjoy below!

If anyone knows about the nature of a fast come-up through the net, it’s Mr. MFN Exquire. He intruded on the scene last year with his gruesomely awesome song and visual, “Huzzah,” following which he quickly signed a lucrative deal with Universal Republic in early 2012. After going on the six month In The Wild tour with Killer Mike, Despot and EL-P, the Brooklyn based emcee is out to say something with his latest EP, Power & Passion. Since the deal, he’s abbrieviated his name, but ain’t too much else changed.

The production palette features notable producers that have had an affect on both major and underground culture as of late. The likes of SpaceGhostPurrp, Harry Fraud, and Dot Da Genius. While they’ve had major success with other emcees, the music sounds surprisingly innovative with Exquire. It almost seems like the record deal never happened.

It’s not the most thrillingly lyrical project but it offers a crisp originality that’s rare. Exquire manages to captivate listeners, bringing his culture of cheap whores and champagne to the table, while also spreading a noble message of passion. It seems like a casual hipster-friendly music at first, but If you listen closely you might just hear something uplifting. It’s clear on the Gucci Mane assisted “Telephuck” where the hook goes something like, “I got a bitch named Telephuck. She fuck whoever I tell her fuck.” But later in the song he spits,  “Money is the devil, the root of all lies. Who you think you know who could really be the devil in disguise.” There’s a method to his nastiness. Toward the middle of the EP there’s a minute long “Supa Interlude” that spreads the “Passion” message while dropping some jewels and new slang along the way. Mr. MFN Exquire remains efficient in the way of hearkening true school aesthetics into new school formats. Hopefully, he’ll follow through with the album.
