Raekwon - Once in a Lifetime ft. Mika
Artist: Raekwon
Producer: The Breakfast Club
Album: Unreleased
Label: Ice H20 Inc./EMI
As it turns out, even Raekwon has a soft side. On his new record, called Once in a Lifetime, The Chef puts his cocaine-dealing exploits on the back burner and talks about his feelings. Helping him out is Mika (not to be confused with the Lebanese pop falsetto), who steals the show with her poignant crooning. The two lovestruck artists pillow-talk over a fittingly mushy beat by The Breakfast Club, who keep it simple with a tender keyboard melody and some light handclaps. The next time you stay in for a romantic evening or go out for a late night creep, Once in a Lifetime should do a good job setting the mood. Sure, Raekwon might hold his girl with his left hand while moving kilos with his right, but at least he’s trying. And that’s half of what counts in a relationship – right, ladies?

Raekwon must be a distant cousin of Beenie Siegel. Mika's voice is impeccable for this track; meanwhile, Raekwon's soft-tone makes this a hit. In rotation.

Mika had me in a trance,then Raekwon opened his mouth. But this is a cool late night bump and smoke song.

WOW! This is not in the category of "REAL" hip hop beat, 1st off. This actually sounds like a lullaby. However I love Mika's voice. Shes not a "SANGA" but she has an incredibly peaceful voice. I can listen to her all day! Rae is a master at this rap shit, I know this isn't a comfort zone for him, but he pulled it off. I like this. 3.5

I like the chill beat. Mika's voice sounds nice over the sample. Chef always does his thing. I could see myself really liking this song after a few times listening to it, but for now. ***

Real relaxing cut right here from Rae. Not single worthy, but a solid album track. Beat is real mellow and as nuttymac said Mika had me in a trance, just so smooth. Raekwon drops some solid lyrics and overall its in rotation.

This isn't going to get you in the mood to party, or, be the soundtrack to your next highway drive. It will set the mood, however, as you read a book, indulge in a late night stiff drink or relax under some headphones. Anyways who rates this under a '3' has probably never bought a Raekwon album...
