OnCue - It Usually Goes

Artist: OnCue

Producer: CJ Luzi

Album: TBD

Label: AtWork Management

Hey, do you remember that notoriously dope Leftovers mixtape we dropped last November with OnCue? Well, he’s back again with another single on par with his previous presentation. With It Usually Goes, the indie music/hip-hop blend again has a refreshing take with producer CJ Luzi’s rendition of Eisley’s haunting cut Ambulance. The Connecticut emcee remains true to the sample’s somber origins, touching base on coming from a broken home, the emotional costs of being dedicated to his craft and the struggles of coming up in an industry that tends to group white rappers together: “This is real s**t I’m livin / father’s a crackhead, my brother’s an alcoholic…I ain’t Marshall I’m a f**kin whatchacallit.” As melancholy as this might seem, the song has a more uplifting tone. We have to remember as listeners they we’ve seen the talented Cuey overcome these obstacles to deliver some seriously talented material. While this isn’t on his upcoming project, Can’t Wait, it is a most welcoming appetizer for the fans still hungry for more after Leftovers. As always, be sure to keep it locked to the DJBooth for more.

This song first appeared on the Independent Chart on March 14, 2011

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11684	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs Cuey continues to show growth with every new release/Booth feature. Unlike a lot of artists, many of whom are super talented, is never feels like he is just "going through the motions." A big plus in my book. Follow @DJBooth

Oakland DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 84	Rating: Oakland's Top Rated Songs Usally when I see a white (I'm changing my ways) guy on a cover of an album I start to think "Nah, he's prolly just some fag trying to rap". I'm going to change my thinking because there's two songs that have inspired me to not think that way. This guy, and Wax - Mary. Who says white poeple can't rap? (NOT ME)
