The Firm was an American hip hop supergroup formed in New York City in 1996 by rapper Nas, his manager Steve Stoute, producer Dr. Dre and production team Trackmasters.

The Firm's origins lie in the recording of Nas' studio album It Was Written (1996), which included a collaboration on the song "Affirmative Action" with East Coast-based rappers AZ, Cormega, and Foxy Brown.

[3] Prior to their formation, the members were at transitional stages of their careers, as Nas had commercialized his musical style with his second album,[1] Foxy Brown had earned her first recording contract,[4] AZ had gained critical acclaim for his 1995 debut album Doe or Die (1995),[5] and Cormega had chosen to continue his rapping career after his release from prison in 1995.

Cormega, who continued to resent being ousted from the group, released the white label "Fuck Nas & Nature",[1] circulating it through the mixtape market.

[15] In an August 2010 interview with MTV, Foxy Brown explained there have been recent discussions on a Firm reformation, dependent on the remaining four agreeing to it.

[16] In August 2020, the group (including Cormega but excluding Nature) reunited for the song "Full Circle" from Nas' album King's Disease.
