"Give Up the Goods (Just Step)" is the fourth and final single from Mobb Deep's second album The Infamous, featuring Big Noyd. Produced by Q-Tip, the song contains a sample of "That's All Right With Me" by Esther Phillips.[1]
Speaking with Complex, Prodigy detailed the process that went into making the song:
The song paints a grim picture of the Queensbridge Housing Project, with topics of street robbery, shootouts, drug and alcohol use and drug dealing.
Much like their later hit "Burn", parts of the music video are in black and white. Most of the video takes place in a nightclub.
