"You Know My Steez" is a song by American hip hop duo Gang Starr, released on November 18, 1997 as the lead single from their fifth studio album Moment of Truth (1998).
It samples "Drowning in the Sea of Love" by Joe Simon, "Flash It to the Beat" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, "B Side Wins Again" by Public Enemy, "Real Hip-Hop" by Das EFX, "Shadowboxin'" by GZA featuring Method Man and "Usual Suspect" by Big Noyd featuring Prodigy.
[1][2] Brett Johnson of Los Angeles Times described the song as having "barrel-chested bragging", which he regarded as a good part of Moment of Truth.
[3] Tom Doggett of RapReviews wrote "Primo's initially awkward beat for 'You Know My Steez' thumps with a crooked combination of bass and treble, but Guru actually snatches the shine from his counterpart".
It was based on the 1971 film THX 1138 and is set in an underground city where people are medically controlled.
