Last year was a good one for OnCue and 2012 is proving to be even more fruitful. During 2011, the Hartford-born MC dropped a career-changing project in Can’t Wait, worked with Mike Posner & Just Blaze and moved mountains with his interchangeable delivery.

After a few grueling months, OnCue and director Adam Ross have wrapped-up production on the CT kid’s video to his chin-raising banger, “Feel Tall.” The final product finds the multi-faceted rapper/singer and Michael-Cera look-alike playfully poking fun at the identity crisis rappers face when they are judged based strictly on their looks, Read the rest of this entry »

“I’m cool with Katy Perry hooks and my Canibus verses/ As long as y’all open up your wallets and purchase…” One of OnCue’s best assets as an artist is that he’s open about his character. Read the rest of this entry »

OnCue linked up with TPPS & IllRoots to present Cueyfornication. Sounds familiar right?
