MNA TELLS A STORY THROUGH HIS STUNNING ABLUM MERCENARY

Raised in the small town of Olney, Maryland MNA (Matthew Nino Azcuy) watched and listened to all of the greatest rappers and musicians during the 1990s and early 2000s. During this golden age of music and music videos, Azcuy was inspired by rappers and rock groups, and when he was sixteen, he decided to make his own music. After years of finding his sound, he teamed up with local producer Nemo, to create his album Diamond Dog. Matthew Nino Azcuy is a published book author, avid writer, and professional movie actor. MNA released a standout album not too long ago this year titled Mercenary. The album explores imagination in conjunction with entertainment and rap music. The idea or story reflects on how fighting for one’s money, power, career, legacy, and place in the world frequently resemble, albeit for profit, the individual sacrifice of soldiers and war. Each song expands on another while exploring different thoughts or feelings. The album is very well written and the production certainly packs a punch. Listeners are urged to take their time and listen to the album from beginning to end to really get the whole experience. Mercenary was inspired by the personal successes and two-year journey of rap artist MNA and his music production company MNA Industries in the music world. “Mercenary” was recorded by City’s Best Sounds in Olney, MD and was released on January 22, 2022.
