Scratch - Ready to Go ft. Kanye West & Consequence
Artist: Scratch
Featuring: Kanye West , Consequence
Producer: Scratch
Album: Loss 4 Wordz
Label: Humanresourcez/WMD/UMG
Beatboxing may be Scratch‘s specialty, but he’s far from a one-trick pony; as demonstrated on previously-featured Loss 4 Wordz cuts Let’s Go (with Peedi Crakk) and Tonite (with Musiq Soulchild), his finely-honed oral percussion is an equally dope accompaniment to rap or R&B—and, with a Grammy win under his belt, who are we to doubt him? On newly-released album track Ready to Go, Scratch once again places his old-school skills in a new-school context, this time providing a stark beatbox-synth backdrop as guest features Kanye West and Consequence describe a classy female who can nonetheless get low with the best of ‘em. Both emcees’ rhymes are on-point (and Kanye’s melodic flow is as infectious as ever), but it’s Scratch’s own hypnotic groove, along with the catchy hook that make this record a winner. If you like what you’re hearing, grab your coat and head to the nearest record store on the 26th, when Scratch’s latest LP drops (or just leave the coat at home, if it’s as warm where you’re at as it is in the Midwest).

THIS is some cool sounding hip-hop. Scratch is just a great hip hop artist with multiple talents. The production is fire, the scratchin brings back some elements of creative and classic hip-hop. Kanye is a perfect addition to a track like this, and he doesnt disappoint. Consequence's verse was pretty cool too.

Scratch has impressed me with everything he has offered up from this new album - dropping 5/26 - and this is no exception. Richard is right on in his assessment; Kanye and Cons sound great over this sick beat.

Uh oh...here we go again. I love EVERYTHING about this song...EXCEPT the production. I just don't do old school. Now, I will say that it is a good beat for what it is, and Kanye and Consequence sound great on it; but it just doesn't fancy me. I will give it three stars, but it's not going to go into rotation, because I just don't like old-school. I'm a next-gen kinda guy.

Can't get more organic hip hop than flowing over a beat box.
And when Kanye's and Cons are doing the flowing...nice. |

Nothing more organic than flowing over a beat box.
And when Kanye and Cons are flowing, even better. |
