GQue Sets The Pace With “Ran It Up”

Suffering from the post-holiday energy dip? You’re in luck! Richmond rapper GQue got the perfect antidote with “Ran It Up,” his newest single, which also arrives with an entry in the RVA Live performance series.

A rapid-fire proclamation kicks the song into motion, bursting with jumpy energy before GQue locks into a palpitating beat that races alongside his headstrong momentum. Cavalier boasts collide with candid confessionals, forming a potent blend of manifestation and affirmation that only proves the most effective hype is always self-generated. “All that trauma kept me going,” the MC states, framing the track, and his art in general, as an act of emotional alchemy that transforms lived experiences into kinetic anthems built to lift listeners at any time of day. Shot by Rick Blair, the accompanying video places GQue at the center of the RVA Live backdrop, where he commands the snug platform and fully embodies the song’s message of self-driven enterprise.

“Ran It Up” is the latest single from GQue, released alongside “Wealth” on the new EP Frequency at the start of the year. The two tracks build on the momentum of the Richmond artist’s December releases, Karma and <sixelA, which ended a three-year release gap following his initial trio of singles in 2022. Kicking off the new year in style, it’s a promising signal of what’s ahead for the local spark plug.
