Matt Cardona looks back on "Hoeski."
In 2013, Matt Cardona released the hit single "Hoeski," complete with a music video. The song was an instant hit and has thousands of views on YouTube. Unlike some major artists, Cardona did it without ghost writers.
"I wrote that song all by myself. We were on a WWE tour. I wrote it all by myself. Ask Joe Hennig. I was like, 'What do you think of this line?' Dolph Ziggler [Nic Nemeth], 'What do you think of this line?' That tour, at the end, I performed it acapella for the boys after one of the shows at catering at the hotel. It was a hit, I record it. Jim Johnston had to remake the background music because I just took some royalty free song. 'We can't put that on iTunes. I have to remake it.' 'You don't understand, Jim. I already recorded the music video. It has to be exact. I can't re-record the video.' I worked with the legendary Jim Johnston to make the background song for that. The original version I did on GarageBand in my friend's basement. I had to go to New York City, a real studio, record it, and then WWE put it out and I got about $5 from it. Maybe $50. Not a lot. It was in the top 100 on iTunes for a day. I made very little money. Very little. It's a legendary track. it still holds up and I'm very proud of it. That's no joke. I'm very proud of Hoeski. I think it still holds up. I think I was ahead of my time in many ways, especially in wrestling," Cardona said on In The Weeds with Jeremy Lambert & SP3.
Cardona said he was thinking of re-releasing the track.
