"Take It EZ" is the first single from rapper Common's debut album Can I Borrow a Dollar?. It is produced by 2 pc. DRK, a production team made up of Immenslope and Twilite Tone. The song's beat mixes keyboards and saxophone playing by Lenny Underwood and Tony Orbach respectively, as well as a sample from "When Will the Day Come" by Rasa. Its beat anticipates the soulful production from Common's second album, Resurrection.[1] It reached #5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart making it the most popular single from Common's debut album. Stanton Swihart of All Music Guide considers it to be a standout track on the album.[2]
