Its first single, “Crashing Down,” garnered thousands of YouTube views and downloads in a matter of weeks, and had college students and tastemakers alike talking about OnCue’s fresh new sound. Goodmusicallday.com says, “ This is one of the best 5 mixtapes of the year”.

He’s shared the stage with a variety of artists such as Kid Cudi, Pittbull, and 3OH!3.

On October 25, 2010, Spose announced through a series of Facebook posts (which were linked to Twitter) that he felt that We Smoked It All Vol. 2 had too many original songs to be considered a mixtape. Partially because of this, he decided to create a "project" titled Happy Medium with many original songs that were originally supposed to be on We Smoked It All Vol. 2, in addition to other material. He also said that new songs from Happy Medium would be released at 4:20 PM Eastern Time every Wednesday up until the release of "Happy Medium."
