"Mic Check" is a song by American rapper Juelz Santana, released as the first single from his second studio album What the Game's Been Missing! (2005). The song's instrumental is based around a sample of "The Roots Mural Theme" by Quincy Jones.
Steve Juon of RapReviews praised Santana's vocal performance on "Mic Check" as an example of "the Santana rap fans are looking for – the one who's a little bit clever with punchlines, who times his flow to go on and off beat purposefully, the one who has a brash personality and sounds like he could dominate the game given half a chance."[1]
