"On to the Next One" is a song by American rapper Jay-Z, released on December 15, 2009 as the fourth single from his eleventh studio album The Blueprint 3 on his Roc Nation label and also released as the fourth single in the United Kingdom after "Young Forever". The song features additional rap vocals and music production from producer and rapper Swizz Beatz[1] as well as a vocal sample of the words "under the spotlight" and a background synthesizer sound from the live version of Justice's song "D.A.N.C.E.".
The song won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 53rd Grammy Awards, marking Jay-Z's 13th Grammy Award overall as well as Swizz Beatz's first Grammy Award win and making Jay-Z the first artist to have all four singles from one album win six Grammy Awards in their respective category. The song has been frequently used for freestyles, notably by Ab-Soul, Bun B, Crooked I and Red Cafe. This song was also part of the soundtrack of NBA 2K13, which was selected by Jay-Z,[2] and has been used as part of Peloton's television commercials promoting their interactive spinning cycle.[3]
