OnCue - Let Loose
Artist: OnCue
Featuring: Nickelus F , Theo Martins
Producer: CJ Luzi
Album: Cuey Sings the Blues
Label: AtWork Management
OnCue‘s last non-freestyle feature found the Brooklyn-based up-and-comer suffering from a little stress as he struggled to figure out who his real Friends were. Well, turns out he simply needed to Let Loose and blow off a little steam – on the latest leak off his forthcoming mixtape, the artist sounds as confident, driven and determined as ever. In keeping with the project’s genre-blending theme, CJ Luzi looks outside the hip-hop arena for inspiration, chopping Feist’s ‘07 hit 1234 into a breezy, catchy backdrop for Cue’s energetic bars. Two true-blue cohorts (and fellow freestyle series contributors) handle guest duties; Virginia’s Nickelus F. laces the middle verse with boisterous braggadocio, and Rhode Island Boat Shoe magnate Theo Martins delivers the coup de grace, name-dropping MLK, Malcolm X and Bryant Gumbel in his closing 16. Craving more boundary-busting tunes from this Northeastern buzzmaker? You’ll find what you seek on his Mick Boogie/Terry Urban/2Dopeboyz-cosponsored Cuey Sings the Blues mixtape, set to hit the net September 7.

OnCue continues to really grow on me. His production selections speak volumes about his seriousness as an emcee and both guest emcees, Booth favorites, turn in equally enjoyable contributions.

Not really feeling this song...it's like a mix between Asher Roth and Yelawolf (just when he raps fast). The song started with the guitar (banjo whatever it is) and I was digging it until the beat kicked it.
The chorus kinda sucks...sounds more like a country song than blues (not just because he's white). 2.5 but rounding up just because may listen to it again lol. |

It's a matter of personal taste to a large extent, but I have to disagree with @Fillyb on almost every level. I thought the incorporation of the bluegrass feel - which, by the way, is not a "white" thing, just listen to the new Aleon Craft mixtape - was dope, the musicality was high, and everyone involved responded well on the mic. Support original music.

This was something that caught me off. I am guilty of judging on looks and the first few sentences of the write up. This was a nice used of the background track and had some good rhymes and really had me bobbing. Nice stuff, great blending.

Maaaaan, i thought bob dylan himself was gonna hop on this track for a guest verse. i'm not sure if this track knows what it wants to be (i.e country, folk, blues etc)
