This will surprsie absolutely none of you, but I'm going to start this post off with a tangential rant. Every year I hear about 100 projects slated to drop on Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's Day with holiday concepts. It's a great idea, except for the fact that absolutely fucking no one's online on Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years, including the entire music industry. I hate to rain on your parade, but you can be too clever for your own good.
That's why I'm so stoked to hear
OnCue's "
Leftovers" mixtape. Not only is the music legitimately dope (and the music ultimately matters the most), but it's both clever and well timed. "Leftovers"? On the first day everyone gets back to work after Thanksgiving? And it consists of tracks that didn't make his last album? Brilliant. Oh yeah, the actual mixtape. I'll let the homey Richard take it from here...
Back in September, OnCue released genre-bending mixtape "Cuey Sings the Blues". Three months later, the Connecticut native (and freestyle series alum) has hooked up with DJBooth.net and Academy Printwear to bring fans his highly-anticipated outtake collection. The project consists of eight new, never-before-heard joints, plus seven previously-unreleased fan favorites. I
nvy, Chanes, Sonny Shotz and
Kyle Lucas make guest appearances on the set, which features production by
CJ Luzi, MikeKUZ, Evo, Chanes and
The Alchemist.
