The Firm lilikuwa kundi bab-kubwa la muziki wa hip hop ambalo limeanzishwa mjini New York City, Marekani mnamo 1996. Lilianzishwa na rapa Nas, meneja wake Steve Stoute, mtayarishaji Dr. Dre na kikosi kizima cha watayarishaji Trackmasters. Kundi linaunganisha na marapa wenye-chimbuko la marapa wa East Coast- Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ na Nature, ambaye amechukua nafasi ya Cormega baada ya kutolewa katika kundi.

Japokuwa kundi lilipokea matarajio mwanana ya mafanikio kutoka kwa washabiki wakati wa kusaini katika studio ya Dr. Dre, Aftermath, albamu ya kwanza ya The Firm, The Album (1997), imetengeneza mauzo ya kuvunja moyo na imepokea tathmini mbovu kabisa. Albamu yao ya kwanza ndiyo albamu pekee na baadaye kuvunjika mnamo mwaka wa 1998 ambamo kila mwanachama ameendelea kufanya shughuli za kujitegemea.
