I’m gonna tell you this much, it has literally been years since I last covered a Mr Muthafuckin Exquire verse and it couldn’t have come at a better time because this time around he’s featured on this killer song with one of the dopest MC’s I’ve heard in a minute! Let’s talk about it!
So, this is the latest music video/single by MC Nobody From Nowhere, with the production handled by none other than the powerhouse Killa Mac and together they set you on a 2-minute and 4-second ride that is sure to blow all the fucking competition out of the water!
Now, let’s start with this beat! Because to say Killa killed it is the world’s biggest understatement! Because this instrumental feels like a homage to the golden 90s, sounding like a beat you’d hear in the East Coast, something you’d hear Wu-Tang Clan in their prime rap upon!
You’ve got those jazz-influenced notes on loop swinging in and out like something you’d hear A Tribe Called Quest add in their songs! With a beautiful bass line subtly reminiscent throughout the track, giving the song that extra level of gravitas while you’ve also got that infectious drum pattern that will stay rocked in your head for months to come!
When all these elements come together, you get one of the best-produced instrumentals you’ll hear all year! It may have aired in January but guaranteed it will be carried till 2026!
This single starts off with Nobody From Nowhere who sets the tone for the whole track with some of the slickest wordplay and lyricism I’ve ever heard. This guy is the definition of nice! The way he manipulates the beat with his words, his impressive bouncy vocabulary, and his sharp pen game makes for a deadly combination!
His rapping style reminds me of the 90s nostalgia back when MC’s use to have colourful and bright personalities and characters! His style, voice, and enthusiasm have something that I haven’t really heard in the modern era! His passion for the game, his infectious cadence on the track, is something that will keep him on my radar for sure!
To close the track off, we have the underground legend himself. Mr Muthafuckin Exquire, the man who has been setting the culture on fire for decades, and he hasn’t missed a step! On this single, he’s bringing his trademark in-your-face delivery and powerful flow! His notorious deep-toned voice and don’t give a fuck attitude floods deep on this track as he showcases his skill and just why he’s been able to last so long in his career!
His wordplay is excellent, his pen game is second to none, and his uncensored and ruthless execution of character is impossible to ignore! It’s this naturally chaotic nature of Exquire that has made him one of the most compelling and ground shattering MC’s in the game, period! He’s never had a subpar bar, and he didn’t start now!
You couldn’t ask for a better single if you tried! These two have chemistry with any other! The production is fucking flawless, and the MC work is beyond ridiculous!
I also love the setting for the music video itself. I love how raw and bare bones it is. Just the two men in the freezing cold with their breath visible and standing in the middle of a city square; it looks like just rapping their asses off. This is the kind of set I’d expect from these two! It’s direct, down-to-earth, and fitting for the track!
This is the single you can’t fucking ignore! Check it out now!
