Brooklyn-based rapper Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire has returned with a new self-titled LP released under his Chocolate Rabbit label. The 12-track project features the likes of Kiwi, KAST, and Iceberg Black.
The album is a return to form for the artist, not only harkening back to his independent roots, but it also marks a turn in eXquire‘s life after a career filled with drugs and debauchery. “My new record is just me sober, healthy, happy and free,” he wrote on Twitter. “Chocolate Rabbit is my moms nickname. A rabbit is the symbol of longevity, enduring & abundance. The 19’s were ahead of their time in their design & underrated, just like me.” He even notes that after the release of Kismet, he can’t remember the other projects he released for a while.
The rapper also broke down all his album art leading to his self-titled project. Check out the album and breakdown tweets below.

Brainiac is my darkest album. So I wanted the cover to be happy. Two inspirations for this cover were Dr. York and The 40 Year Old Virgin. Dr. York was in an R&B group called “The Passion” so I thought it fit because of what I speak about on “Manboy”. pic.twitter.com/no8sgExKKA
