"Music" is a song by Erick Sermon featuring archived vocals from Marvin Gaye, released on June 12, 2001 and is the lead single of the album of the same name. The hip hop and soul duet featuring the two veteran performers was released as the leading song of the soundtrack to the Martin Lawrence and Danny DeVito comedy, What's the Worst That Could Happen? The song became a runaway success rising to #2 on Billboard's R&B chart and was #4 on the rap charts. It also registered at #21 pop giving Sermon his highest-charted single on the pop charts as a solo artist and giving Gaye his first posthumous hit in 10 years following 1991's R&B-charted single, "My Last Chance" also bringing Gaye his 41st and last top 40 pop hit.
