When Mike Posner’s scantly-clad, Sky High single first dropped, we said the video should be Tron-inspired. And, we’ll be damned, that’s exactly what happened.

After a year of drying up ink pens on his end and months of waiting on ours, OnCue has finally let go of his highly-anticipated Can’t Wait project.

But, just because his debut LP got panned by most of his core fan base, doesn’t mean he’s heading for the hills.

31 Minutes To Takeoff has been in orbit since last summer and nothing gives an album new life like a remix.
