Scratch - Tonite ft. Musiq Soulchild
Artist: Scratch
Featuring: Musiq Soulchild
Producer: Scratch
Album: Loss 4 Wordz
Label: Humanresourcez/WMD/UMG
When we featured Let’s Go back in early March, many reviewers agreed that Scratch‘s old-school beatboxing is something that new-school hip-hop needs more of. On this newly-released record, the Roots alumnus demonstrates that the sadly-neglected art can work just as well in an R&B context. Here, his oral percussion, along with a Latin-influenced keyboard accompaniment, set a retro mood as Musiq Soulchild asks a female he’s had his eye on, “What you doin’ Tonite?” Of course, the singer comes prepared with several rhyming suggestions for the night’s activities—they could “take a long trip,” “catch a flick,” “chill at the crib,” “roll in the whip,” or, you know, they could skip all of that and just, “do it (wicka-wicka!).” A throwback track that nonetheless feels utterly fresh, Tonite is set to appear on the May 26th release of Scratch’s Loss 4 Wordz.

richard said it best: the track has both a fresh and an old-school vibe to it. The production is cool, but I know Scratch can do better. Musiq is a perfect fit for it wit his smooth, soulful voice.

Just goes to show that true talent can break musical boundaries. Beatboxing in R&B? Yessir. This record was built around what Musiq can do vocally and the end result is very enjoyable.

When i first start listening to it i want to turn it off. I hate all the disc scratching. I really don't like it throughout the entire song either. This is a great song for Musiq to be on. It def fits his vibe and style. As i listened to the song I was waiting for Scratch to come in and start rapping, but I see he's not one. Then I really don't think this should be his song, it's more like Musiq's. I see that he's beatboxing on here, but without Musiq on here it really wouldn't be a song. It would be just a beat. Sure he's breaking rules and trying something new, but everything new isn't always great....well, in my opinion. A lot of people seem to really feel this, but I didn't. Did I like Musiqs' part yeah and I would prob rate the song higher if it were his. Its a great Musiq Soulchild song not Scratch's.
