The key to success is to be consistently better than the rest, but this is a small thing to a giant. Especially when that giant is named Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire. An MC hailing from Brooklyn, New York, eXquire is the type of artist who refuses to be lumped in with any other rapper or any individual. He’s his own artist and his own man. And first on his agenda is to bring evolution to the game… Born and raised in Brooklyn, eXquire found his calling at the age of fourteen, while in the bathroom no less. On a whim, he decided to write a rhyme, just to see if he could do it. He was pleased with the end result and made up his mind to write a rhyme every night before bed. Before long, he started writing full songs and even sleeping with his notebook (a practice he continues to maintain to this day). As his rap skills grew, so did his rep of being the dude to beat in his ‘hood. If you thought you had what it takes, it was mandatory you had to face eXquire and from there you could determine whether to continue with your craft. Most likely, he would bring you back down to realization that you shouldn’t quit your day job. eXquire literally does this in his sleep. With appearances at such NYC venues as Temple, TNY, and The Snitch Bar, his aggressive, yet refined delivery has evolved into a genre that eXquire likes to refer to as “Acid Rap” With his musical influences ranging from underground luminaries such as Royce 5’9” and MF Doom to more unlikely ones like The Beatles, one can understand why he calls his music that. He fuses so many different styles together that his music sounds new and innovative, but familiar at the same time. A lot of his Rap DNA can be traced back to the Second Golden Era of Hip Hop, the 90’s. During that time, music was all that mattered. An artist’s personal life or the stipulations of his contract had absolutely nothing to do with their mic prowess. Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire hopes to bring that time back. The love of the art form has virtually disappeared but not for long…
