Stunned and confused, Rashid had life altering decisions to make with his girlfriend, Kim Jones. The situation led to the composition of his favourite cut on One Day... that offers a male slant on abortion. 'Retrospect for Life', produced by James Poyser&No I.D. featuring Lauryn Hill (who was due on the same day as Rashid's girlfriend), is the song that is the driving force behind the project. Rashid listens to 'Retrospect for Life' today at the mastering session geeked, as if it were for the first time. He tells me as we listen to L-Boogie wail the chorus, 'when I listen to the song now, I think about how precious her (Omoye's) life is' ."
