With Angry Young Man almost hitting its one year anniversary, OnCue says he’s hard at work on his next project, but chose not to divulge too many details. Out of this back and forth, OnCue remembered one particular quote from Just Blaze that still resonates: “we don’t make music for musicians, we make music for people.” The line was “I don’t fight over pussy, nah I ain’t Common.” Blaze didn’t want the record to blow up and have the shot, so he wanted it slightly changed to sound more generic. The rapper in question was Common, who has ties to Just Blaze. He wanted me to change the wording, because I was kind of going after a rapper. “One time when we were working on ‘New Religion’ there’s a line that me and him were arguing about. “He’ll tell me the most simplest shit, but it resonated,” OnCue says in our interview. The working relationship does so well, because Just understands Cue’s sound and isn’t trying to change him, but rather elevate what he does. Blaze’s career as a producer has seen him work with the biggest names in the industry, from Jay Z to Drake, but joining forces with OnCue is a whole new lane for him. When you listen to OnCue’s music, you wouldn’t ever associate it with Just Blaze if you didn’t know the two already work together. Somewhere along on the line, he also built with Just Blaze, who has become something of a mentor for his career, and the two worked extensively on Angry Young Man. He crafts projects with the intentions of living through this microwave era we’re in. He’s part rapper, part singer, and an all around artist at heart. His unique sound was enough to capture my attention.
There’s one artist I’ve been a fan of for over five years that is just now coming into his position.Ĭonnecticut native OnCue has been a mainstay on blogs since about 2009. For a journalist like myself, I’ve seen them come and go with limitless potential. Not only have you been there since the start and got music worth enjoying for years to come, but it’s a feeling of seeing someone you believe in win. Watching an artist’s rise in the industry from the beginning is one of the most rewarding efforts.
