"Temperature's Rising" is the third, and last single from Mobb Deep's album, The Infamous. Like Nas' "One Love", Mobb Deep's song is in the form of a letter to a recently incarcerated friend. In the song, the narrator reveals that he is covering up evidence of his imprisoned friends' criminal actions, and speaks of his paranoia, fearing that the police are closing in on him.

The b-side, "Give Up The Goods (Just Step)" is about the life of a "stick up artist".
