As a few notable artists and producers have mentioned in Booth interviews, turntablism is currently enjoying a resurgence of popularity in mainstream hip-hop.  On this newly-leaked record off his forthcoming Loss 4 Wordz LP, Scratch is angling to take advantage of the ongoing retro renaissance and shine the spotlight on his favorite facet of the old-school sound—that’s right: beatboxing.  Let’s Go, sees the Roots alumnus doing what he does best: providing a human-drum-machine backdrop (with a few studio trimmings, of course) to hot rhymes.  In this case, said rhymes come courtesy of fellow Philly native Peedi Crakk, whose three verses make clear that regardless of whether you’re talking about cash, bling, women, or lyrical prowess, he won’t be outshined.  After years of honing his skills as an oral percussionist, is Scratch ready to cement beatboxing’s status as the Next Big Thing from Way Back When? We’ll have to wait till April 6th, when sophomore solo LP Loss 4 Wordz hits stores, to find out for sure.

I love the DJBooth because it introduces me to a lot of rappers that I haven't heard of. This is a pretty tight song. It has an old-school style. The Roots is a group that I haven't heard very much of. I will look in to that in the future. This song gets 4 stars.

This track brought back some memories from the old Roots and one of my favorite albums of all time (Rahzel's solo album.) The beatboxing and scratching done by Scratch creates a sick beat. I've like Peedi Crakk ever since he did a track on the Magnificent with DJ Jazzy Jeff...

The scratching and the beatboxing is a good idea that creates a fresh song. The melody in the background fits perfectly and the lyrics are good. Old school feel is pretty cool. Creative song I can throw it in rotation

Beatboxing is a lost art. Seriously, most kids these days do not even know what it means to TRULY beatbox! This is a solid record with a very underrated emcee (Peedi) on the mic. Rotation... and more.

Sidebar: I would like thank member "GStan10" for acknowledging that we always turn people on to new artists. That is exactly what we hope to do! I am sure Scratch will be thrilled to read that as well.

I am a scratch DJ, and I can honestly say I'm not really feeling the production on here but yet it grows on me more and more as I listen on... Peedi sounds pretty good on the beat though. I can go with the majority of you guys and just barely throw it into rotation; but not for long!

The beat goes hard and they got nice flows, but I didn't like the background music so much. Anyway this got some cool energy and I'd put it in rotation

At first I thought it was borderline annoying, but the scratchin towards the end got me going. It's starting to grow on me, I'll throw it in rotation for a few.
