Although his name isn’t likely to come up in conversations about the best producers in the game, Mark Ronson’s been one of hip-hop’s most known-unknown beatsmiths for years. Most famous for his work with Amy Winehouse, Ronson and his Allido Records are also the sonic brains behind Wale and Rhymefest, so now that he’s working on his own solo project, it’s only right that he gets some of rap’s finest to join him (see previous offering Bang Bang ft. Q-Tip). This time around it’s Wu-alumnus Ghostface Killah who finds himself squaring off with another of Ronson’s distinctly original beats on Lose It (In the End). Part spaghetti western, part mod rock, Lose It’s beat would intimidate most emcees, but Ghost doesn’t flinch, somehow managing to work in both references to Bel Biv Devoe and his psychiatrist in the opening verse alone. Love it or hate it, I’m sure you’ve never heard anything like it, and for that I’m glad I’ve found Lose It. Ronson’s sure-to-be-high-quality upcoming album Record Collection drops September 27, in his native U.K.  and October 5, in good ol’ America.

The true measure of an emcee's talents is his (or her) ability to rap over a record that, if you heard it as an instrumental, you'd never think of as a fitting accompaniment to a series of hot 16's. Most emcees would a) be afraid to touch this beat, or b) simply uninvited to even try their hand at it. But then again, Ghost isn't 'most emcees' (and Ronson isn't 'most producers').

Crazy production here. Not feelin Ronson's vocals too much but Ghostface does a good job keeping the track alive.

Only 3 stars cause it's way too short - more verses needed!

We've actually heard this duo before, on the remix to Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good", and what we learned then we learn again today: Ghost's raspy style juxtaposes perfectly with Ronson's eclectically sampled beats.

I love the originality here, huge props. And for the record, I'm 99% positive that's a sample on the hook, not Ronson singing.

Z is always on point... I don't mind if Ghost never totally blows up commercially, it's nice to have an artist I can just enjoy to myself. That's Ghost for me... Would've loved one more verse :D

ronson was really impressive on this. @Z, so true, hearing this as an instrumental youd think was crazy to have some spit over it but ronson pulled it off. wow
