"'''It's Mine'''" is the third single from [[Mobb Deep]]'s 1999 album '''''[[Murda Muzik]]''''' and features [[Nas]].
"'''It's Mine'''" is a song performed by American [[East Coast hip hop|hip hop]] duo [[Mobb Deep]] for their fourth studio album ''[[Murda Muzik]]'' (1999). The song features guest vocals from friend and fellow [[Queensbridge Houses|Queensbridge]] artist [[Nas]].


The song's instrumental is based around a sample of the title theme (the Murda Muzik album credits the song as "Scarface Cues") of the 1983 film [[Scarface (1983 film)|Scarface]], which was composed by [[Giorgio Moroder]]. This would be the second time that Mobb Deep used music from the film for one of their singles, with the first being "'''[[G.O.D. Pt. III]]'''".
