Back to 10 New Rappers for Black Music Month 2012

Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire

What better way to taunt industry gatekeepers than to include an expletive in your stage name. Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire is nobody's puppet. The Brooklyn native dropped his debut, The Big Kill, years before people noticed his movement. He was actually ready to quit when he started, but he couldn't help but revisit rap years later with 2011's Lost in Translation. His standout track, "Huzzah!" led the tape's momentum and now the ornery, abstract rhyme slinger is signed to Universal Republic and set to tour with El-P, Killer Mike and Despot this summer.
