INTERVIEWSMr. MFN eXquire Drops 'The Man in the High Castle' Mixtape Against UMG's Wishes

"My label fighting me cuz they hate me to rap"

It's only been a week since Mr. MFN eXquire's Power and Passion EP was announced — due November 6 via Universal Republic — but the New York MC has leaked a new 19-track mixtape, The Man in the High Castle, and alleged that he went against his record label in doing so:

So I had this tape I wanted to drop but my label fighting me cuz they hate me to rap but y'all could find that shit if u smart.

The compilation doesn't include any high profile guests, and apparently spans a broad swath of the foul-mouthed rapper's oeuvre, but it includes some highlights sure to delight the eXquire completionists out there. Today, he added:

Y'all spin that "Man In The High Castle" some of that music is really old but it meant a lot to me that people heard it now.
