Attention ladies: if you need a little something to lift your spirits, Raheem Devaughn has you covered. On this standout cut (not a potential single) off the Jersey native’s forthcoming junior album, DeVaughn promises a lucky woman that, when she isn’t feeling beautiful, he’ll be there to remind her of The Greatness he sees radiating from her. Beatsmith Kenny Dope delivers an upbeat, lightly-jazzy synth instrumental as the silver-tongued crooner rhapsodizes about his girl’s many admirable features, and D.C. heavyweight Wale ties the track together with an equally smooth guest verse, asking a female with “...the grace of Alicia Keys” to be the Michelle to his Barack. Does this energetic, positive-minded jam live up to its title? We report, you decide. Those who like what they’re hearing can find The Greatness, previously-featured single I Don’t Care, and much more on Radio Raheem’s third full-length, The Love&War MasterPeace, scheduled to hit record stores and online retailers this Tuesday.

The production is average, the singing is the soulful kind you would expect from Raheem, Wale does some good with the guest verse and the melody works well. It isn't over the top great, but the track is rotation worthy.

Real smooth (like the rest of his brand new album that I highly encourage all my R&B lovers to pick up Tuesday). Wale's guest work here isn't his best, but this isn't about Wale - its about Raheem. Rotation...

When Wale first stepped out on the scene I didn't really know what to make of him, but I'm slowly starting to admire him more and more.
This one's pretty cool. |

Wale didn't help much, I could see Lupe/Kanye killing a mid-tempo cut like this

Raheem sounded great on this. I could definitely hear his soul on it. Wale was a tight guest feature, but I think his verse would have sounded a lot better if the production didn't get so minimalistic during his verse. But he still kept a tight flow. 3.5, and I don't know which way to round, so I guess I'll just go up.

Alright here, not sure if I would listen to it again though. The production was cool but the hook could of been better. Wale was tight but it felt like he just came and went, he should of rapped in the intro too. Raheem's voice was great but overrall the song was just decent.

My favorite song of the night, really digging the soul/funk vibe. Only for the grown and sexy, and since I'm both, four stars. No question.

When you see the names Raheem DeVaughn and Wale you instantly expect big things, and they did not disappoint. Wale’s verse is another reason for people who slept on Attention Deficit to go out and buy it.

The joint is solid, but I too wish that Wale had dug a bit deeper in his rhyme bag. Still, it's all good stuff.

I'm feeling this vibe to this song its certain artist now days that can get that smooth joint to dance to with your girl or your family. Raheem DeVaughn is one of those artist. This definently should be a single.
