‘2 On’ Tinashe ft. ScHoolboy Q (2014)

“2 On” dropped January 21, 2014 as the debut commercial single from Tinashe’s first studio album Aquarius via RCA Records, featuring ScHoolboy Q on a guest verse and produced by DJ Mustard, Jon Redwine, and DJ Marley Waters — a West Coast production trio that gave the record its signature bounce and locked it into the club-ready R&B lane Mustard was dominating at the time.  Built on effervescent keys, trap hi-hats, synth-string accents, and a sample from Sean Paul’s “We Be Burnin’,” the production was a deliberate step away from the murky, introspective alternative R&B Tinashe had been crafting on her mixtapes, and she was upfront about that — she wanted people to hear her make a radio record without losing the credibility of her earlier work.  ScHoolboy Q’s verse adds the West Coast grit the beat called for, riding the Mustard production naturally given their shared Compton and TDE/Black Hippy adjacency at the time.

The video directed by Hannah Lux Davis and released March 24, 2014 centers entirely on Tinashe’s dancing — choreography-heavy party scenes with her girlfriends, critics likening the visual energy to Aaliyah and early Janet Jackson in terms of precision and attitude.  It peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100, sat at No. 1 on US Rhythmic Radio for four consecutive weeks, and became the second most played song of 2014 on that format, eventually going 4x platinum certified by the RIAA.  Drake and OB O’Brien even dropped a remix titled “2 On/Thotful” in May 2014 — and Drake brought Tinashe onstage in Houston to perform it live — a cosign that briefly positioned her as one of the most buzzed-about new R&B voices of that entire cycle.
