Huzzah!



On the past NY trip we hung out with Exquire. Nicest dude you'll ever meet who raps about anal.

For the past year or so the west coast has clenched its five fingers into a very tight grasp on hip-hop music. There seems to be something for every party: blunt-enlightening social righteousness on the couch, ass rape swag speeches from the skateboard soapboxes of Fairfax, and wherever stream of consciousness verses are rapped and repeated. But emerging out the wood work, for rap geography’s sake, is a new class of New York hip-hop including the likes of ASAP Rocky, Action Bronson, Matthew Ragazino, and twenty-six year old Crown Heights native Mr. Muthafuckin’ Exquire.


You may not find him on 2dopeboyz, Nah Right, or office computers, but he’s a genuine hip-hop artist and a brew of old and new. He possesses a charming appreciation for underground NYC beat production and hallucinogenic shrooms. His go-to drink is an unscrupulous mix of cranberry juice and the cities finest plastic bottled Georgi vodka, referred to as Georgie Porgie a.k.a Peel Off Passion. His name may not sit well with you, his music may not be your thing, but his personality will show you why he’s not just called Exquire.
