Hip-Hop, Rap | OnCue – Leftovers 2

Posted by on November 29, 2013

oncue-leftovers-2

What better suited title for the day after Thanksgiving than Leftovers 2? I’ll answer that for you: none. There are no better titles than Leftovers 2. To tide us over until his full length project, OnCue decided last minute to drop the sequel to his original Leftovers series.

The tape is full of the conviction that Cuey has become so well known for in addition to a few lighter-spirited tracks like “Nude”. Features included a few familiar names including Sonny Shotz, Ro Ransom, Skizzy Mars and The Kickdrums and the talented production team was headed by in-house favorite, CJ Luzi.

I’ll surely be bumping this project for the remainder of 2013 and I recommend you all hit the download and do the same. Toss OnCue a follow on Twitter if you’re feeling the tunes!

Hip-Hop | OnCue – Cereal (Prod. by CJ Luzi)

Posted by on January 3, 2013

What’s up FNT family, it’s been too long since we last connected.  Now that the holidays have passed and the frigid temperatures have forced me to post up on top of my heated mattress, it’s time to feed my blogetite.  Knowing I had to come back with heat, I cordially present to you Cuey’s first release off his sixth coming mixtape, Angry Young Man.  As expected, board work comes from the 22-year old Jersey native, CJ Luzi.  Although this track may have felt like a long time coming, I can assume you “Cereal” was worth the wait.  Cuey’s voice is ripe and his raps are as potent as ever.  With releases of this caliber, it won’t be long before these two are graduating from “cereal for dinner”.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Huey Mack – About Us (Prod. CJ Luzi) [Music Video]

Huey Mack drops visuals for his recent release “About Us” off A Boy Named Hue, which drops on Monday 4/23. This was already a dope song and the visuals definitely make it even better. Huey is an artist who I’ve been listening to a lot lately. He’s been dropping new music consistently, while still keeping the material quality. I have high hopes for this mixtape release based not the couple tracks that have been released thus far. If you haven’t seen the artwork for the mixtape you can catch that after the jump!

Huey Mack just let go the last single he will be dropping before he releases his upcoming project, A Boy Named Hue. Huey said this is his favorite track thats he’s recorded thus far. Its definitely dope and he’s been growing so much as an artist. I’ve definitely been digging a lot of the music he has been dropping over these past months. Eager to see what the future will bring, be sure to grab the rest of the project when it drops on April 23rd!

Electro, Hip-Hop | OnCue – Feel Tall (The Soundmen Remix)

Posted by on March 7, 2012

Let me start off by saying “Feel Tall” was one of my favorite songs of 2011.  Cuey reached a whole new level when he released the song along with the stop motion video to correspond.  With that being said, I was somewhat skeptic when I saw the track had been remixed.  Any and all doubts quickly evaporated a mere 11 seconds into the song.  The highly talented Seattle production duo, The Soundmen, turn the (already) crack track into a audio fiend’s thanksgiving feast.  Keeping the important elements of the original song intact, they add enough original production and remix the hook to create a perfectly balanced mix.

Props to The Soundmen, I wish more producers would rework indie hip-hop like this!

Hip-Hop | OnCue – Rich Kid (Prod. Brenton Duvall & CJ Luzi)

Cuey just released his second song of the week, Rich Kid. With the help of Brenton Devuall and CJ Luzi this track is hot. Here’s what Brenton had to say about the track:

“I sent this shit to OnCue about two months ago. When we were first working with it, it sounded super swaggy. Some Houston x Brooklyn shit. I don’t know what it was really, but I really fucked with the feel of the track. I was sampling this, to begin with. Anyway, what started out as a quick, fun track eventually evolved into something a whole lot better. Once CJ got his hands on the beat, it really got taken to the next level. This is definitely the best shit I’ve ever been a part of and is what I consider to be part of the beginning of a completely new path for OnCue. I 100% believe that he is going to do some really important things in music. Not rap music, but all music. He’s definitely one of the smartest and most creative rappers I’ve ever seen let alone met. I’ve been telling everyone not to sleep on him but I think I’m done doing that. At this point, if you aren’t giving Cue a listen, it’s only a problem for you. I don’t know how much good shit I can say about him, and at this point I’m rambling, so fuck it. Enjoy Rich Kid.”

Hip-Hop, Videos | OnCue – Better Than Before (Music Video)

“OnCue, thats my homie, how are you?, what it do? Heyyyyyyy?”

As anticipation builds for OnCue’s highly awaited mixtape, Can’t Wait, Cuey releases new visuals with a brand new track.  The video shows a darker side, but is inspiring at the same time.  Cuey exercises so much emotion in his music, he makes it easy to paint our own pictures, but here he does us a favor and illustrates just what this song is about.  I’ve said it once and I’ll say it over and over again.  Cuey’s one of the truest artists in the game right now and as things continue falling into place for him, it’s going to be tough to stop him.  Can’t Wait coming November 16th!
