Tonite

Quik wrote and produced it. He told Talib Kweli's People's Party podcast, reported by Uproxx on September 6, 2022, that it was based on a three-day party weekend he threw at 18: he looped the beat and they lived for a weekend. Wikipedia lists samples of Kleeer's "Tonight", Betty Wright's "Tonight Is the Night" and Esther Williams's "Last Night Changed It All (I Really Had a Ball)"; Soulbounce says the hook is from Betty Wright and the bass groove from Kleeer. The synth part was programmed by The Real Richie Rich, and in a 2010 interview Quik said of that synth line that you're taking this from the man that wrote the synthesizer part.
