Wishing On A Star

Raekwon borrows the instrumental from Rose Royce's "Wishing On A Star" on his new track.

Raekwon decided to reach way back on his most recent freestyle. While the trendy remix record right now is easily Drake's "0 To 100" (which picked up right where "Chiraq" and "The Worst" left off), Rae has revived the 70's soul/disco classic "Wishing On A Star" by Rose Royce.

The Wu rapper delivers a verse over the first half of the song, before singing with Rose on the hook, and then letting the sample play out from there.

Apparently, Raekwon will be dropping a "throwback" joint each and every week leading up to the release of his upcoming solo album, F.I.L.A., so be prepared for some more crate-digging from the Chef.

Quotable Lyrics:
Yeah gangsta, stay gangsta
MAde from Kingston
I wish real niggas would say somethin'
Glorified gettin' it
Guns on us, tons of trust
Few niggas in the slums is us
