**"No Equal"** is the second single by [East Coast](/source/East_Coast_hip_hop) [hip hop](/source/Hip_hop_music) group [The Beatnuts](/source/The_Beatnuts). It was released by [Relativity Records](/source/Relativity_Records) as a single before being placed on The Beatnuts' debut EP *[Intoxicated Demons: The EP](/source/Intoxicated_Demons:_The_EP)*. The song is produced by The Beatnuts and features raps by Juju, Psycho Les and Fashion. It contains a spacy beat that features a prominent [xylophone](/source/Xylophone) and [brass section](/source/Brass_instrument) [sampled](/source/Sampling_(music)) from "Ain't No Sunshine" by [Willis Jackson](/source/Willis_Jackson_(saxophonist)), "The Confined Few" by Irvin Booker & [Booker Little](/source/Booker_Little) and "Ain't No Sunshine" by Harlem Underground Band. It additionally samples [Q-Tip](/source/Q-Tip_(rapper))'s vocals from "Jazz (We've Got) (Re-Recording)" by [A Tribe Called Quest](/source/A_Tribe_Called_Quest) and [Rakim](/source/Rakim)'s vocals from "My Melody" by [Eric B. & Rakim](/source/Eric_B._%26_Rakim). DJ Fatboy of RapReviews.com explains that the song is carried by its "spanish(sic) tinged jazzy" beat, not its unjustifiably braggadocios lyrics.[1]

Despite the release of a "No Equal" music video, the song failed to chart. It can be found on two Beatnuts hits compilations, *[World Famous Classics](/source/World_Famous_Classics)* and *[Beatnuts Forever](/source/Beatnuts_Forever)*, as well as the hip hop compilation *Hip Hop Don't Stop (The Greatest)*. A remix can be found on *[The Spot](/source/Remix_EP:_The_Spot)*.
