"Player's Anthem" was the first single released from the Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s debut album Conspiracy. Produced by Clark Kent, the song contains a sample of The New Birth's song "You Are What I'm Talking About". Featuring a chorus by The Notorious B.I.G. and Connie-Jane, "Player's Anthem" became a big hit for the group, peaking at 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold by the RIAA on September 7, 1995 for sales of over 500,000 copies. "Player's Anthem's" chorus was interpolated by the group's rivals Tupac Shakur and the Outlawz on their diss song "Hit 'Em Up". The remix sounds similar to the original, but samples "Memory Lane" by Minnie Riperton.
