"Incredible" is a song by American rappers Keith Murray and LL Cool J. It was released on September 15, 1998 through Jive Records as the only single from Murray's third studio album It's a Beautiful Thing. Recording sessions took place at Mirror Image Recorders in Dix Hills. Production was handled by Erick Sermon, who used a sample from James Brown's song "Sportin' Life". The single peaked at 70 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and 27 on the Hot Rap Songs in the United States.

Music video

A music video directed by Diane Martel was released for the song. The music video, a parody of comics' Batman and Robin, starred Murray as the Robin-inspired "Lyrical Lexicon" and Redman as the Batman-inspired "Funk Doctor Spock". The two faced LL Cool J as the duo's archnemesis based on The Joker called "The Last Laugher", Erick Sermon as "The Green Eyed Bandit", Craig Mack as "Sinister James", and the Catwoman-styled character "Chickenhead".

Samples

A sample of the song was used in Army of the Pharaohs's song "The Ultimatum" from the album The Unholy Terror.
