"Take It Easy" is a hip hop and reggae fusion song, recorded by hip-hop/dancehall artist Mad Lion from his debut studio album, Real Ting (1994). The song contains a sample of "When A Man In Love" by Yami Bolo and "Return of the Boom Bap" from collaborator KRS-One from his 1993 debut album of the same name.
The song is also notable for its music video (which received heavy rotation on BET) which featured cameos by KRS-One (whose classic track "Black Cop" was sampled at the beginning of the video) and an early appearance by fellow rapper Fat Joe. The video was filmed in the South Bronx and Queens section of New York City.
