"'Quiet Storm'" is the first single from Mobb Deep's fourth album 'Murda Muzik'. The song was originally released on the soundtrack for the film 'In Too Deep'. The song features a sample of the bass line from the classic hip-hop song "White Lines (Don't Do It)" by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five and another sample from Smokey Robinson's "A Quiet Storm". In 2001, the R&B group 112 used an updated version of the "Quiet Storm" beat for their number-one single, "It's Over Now".

A remix featuring Lil' Kim was released as the album's second single. The remix also became very popular and is noted to be one of Lil' Kim's most memorable guest appearances.
