"Juicy" is the first single by American rapper the Notorious B.I.G. from his 1994 debut album, Ready to Die. Production is credited to Poke of the duo Trackmasters and Sean "Puffy" Combs, though hip-hop alumni Pete Rock claims to have produced the beat without receiving credit.[1] "Juicy" contains a sample of Mtume's 1983 song, "Juicy Fruit", though it is directly sampled from the song's "Fruity Instrumental" mix, and has an alternative chorus sung by Bad Boy Records cohorts, the girl group Total and label founder Combs. The song is widely considered to be one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time.[2][3]
