"One Mic" is a song by hip hop rapper Nas, which was the third single on his fifth studio album released April 16, 2002 on Columbia Records.

He also speaks on his wish to make a difference, with just one mic.  When discussing the theme of the song in a Rolling Stone interview, Nas stated, "'One Mic' is just about the power. It's almost like Hip Hop is Dead in it's infant stages, saying how much this is a blessing to be out here, speaking about what's happening in the neighborhoods, having the whole world understand & relate." This song sends a strong message of becoming the change we wish to see. "You need some soul searching? The time is now!"
