"You Gots to Chill" is the second single by EPMD from their 1988 debut album Strictly Business. It reached number 22 on the U.S. R&B chart. The song prominently features a sample from More Bounce to the Ounce by Zapp and "Jungle Boogie" by Kool & the Gang. This song is widely considered to be a hip hop classic and has been paid homage by various rappers who have quoted the lyrics to this song in their own music, including Snoop Dogg and LL Cool J, among others.

Music video

The official music video was directed by Adam Bernstein, who would also direct the video for "So Wat Cha Sayin'" a year later.[1]
