Here’s the new video from one of our favorite young artists, Mr. Muthafuckin’ eXquire. In it, the Brooklyn rapper raps two new songs, “Noble Drew Ali” and “The Cauldron.” I don’t know why he called the video “Nightfall at the Thames.” But then, I went to school in New London, Connecticut, and there’s a river there called the Thames. But it’s pronounced with the “Th” sound like “the,” and “ames” like it rhymes with “James.” So who knows why anyone does anything the way they do it? Not me.
