"Temperature's Rising" is the third and final single from Mobb Deep's album, The Infamous, featuring Crystal Johnson. 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 of "Temperature's Rising", "Give Up The Goods" is about the life of a "stick up artist", and features Big Noyd.

In 2006 the song was included on the album Life of the Infamous: The Best of Mobb Deep.
