OnCue - Your Own Supply
Artist: OnCue
Producer: CJ Luzi & Phantogram
Album: Leftovers
Label: AtWork Management
As anyone who’s seen Scarface knows, getting high On Your Own Supply can have fatal consequences – especially when “your own supply” consists of a huge pile of cocaine. While I can’t say for certain that OnCue doesn’t have the Mt. Everest of nose candy stashed away in some dark corner of his apartment, this mixtape outtake is less about narcotics than it is about the pros and cons of buying into one’s own hype. Over CJ Luzi‘s pensive synth-piano instrumental, sampled from electro-pop group Phantogram‘s Mouthful of Diamonds, the freestyle series alumnus takes a look in the mirror, acknowledging the obstacles that stand between him and stardom, but reaffirming his faith in his own abilities: “I know I’ve been wrong before, but I know I’m not this time.” OnCue’s self-confidence may be unshakable, but is it truly warranted? While I have a feeling I know the answer, you get the final say. Fans can hear more fresh records that didn’t make it onto September’s Cuey Sings the Blues on the artist’s Booth-sponsored Leftovers street album, set to hit our mixtape page for streaming and free download Nov. 29.

OnCue remains a unique voice in an industrial sea full of similar-sounding artists. I have a feeling, to continue with my writing theme, he will continue to swim (and not sink) with this release and its accompanied project.

That beat is a problem. Once OnCue started singing, I was hooked. This is above a certain genre, can't even call it hip hop. Well, it's like hip hop meets Cee Lo meets Temper Trap. I'll stop there, this is turning into word vomit.
Seriously though, I have always been a fan of creativity and this song has such a unique sound that I'm loving every second of it. |

Bad collabo between the beat and the singing to make a bad song. Sounds all over the place. Nice idea executed wrongly.

I'm starting to like OnCue more and more. This isn't a "Let Loose" but it just continues to show OnCue diversity as an artist.

I like this guy. I have listened to one of his mixtapes. It's a good mixture between rap and singing.
