Looks Like a Job For... was the fifth album by emceeBig Daddy Kane, released in 1993 through Cold Chillin' Records. After the failure of his 1991 album Prince of Darkness, Kane was able to regain his past acclaim, with an album that was considered as a return to his past greatness. Unlike his past albums, Kane involved a large number of outside producers for the project, including future production stars the Trackmasters, Easy Mo Bee, Large Professor, and Public Enemy's production-crew the Bomb Squad. Looks Like a Job For... featured Kane's first Top 40Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Very Special," as well as the underground hip-hop hit "How U Get a Record Deal?" and a remix of his track "’Nuff Respect," originally from the soundtrack to the film Juice. Album guests include Kane's brother Little Daddy Shane, Kane's backup dancers Scoob & Scrap Lover, and Spinderella of Salt-N-Pepa.
