(1997)"Firm Biz" is the first single by the Hip hop supergroup The Firm from their singular collaborative LP "". The song was produced by L.E.S, who based the song's track on a sample of Teena Marie's 1981 hit "Square Biz". "Firm Biz" also features a chorus performed by former En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson, reworked from the "Square Biz" chorus. AZ raps the first verse of the song, Nas Escobar the second, and Foxy Brown the final verse.

A remix of the song was released, featuring a verse from Half-A-Mill and a chorus by Mary J. Blige. The word "feds" is censored in verse 2, performed by Nas, when he says "Never that though Black .4-4's for feds".
