"Spit Your Game" is the title of the second single by Notorious B.I.G from his Duets: The Final Chapter album, a remixed album of Biggie Smalls' work. The song features guest appearances from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Krayzie Bone and Twista. The single is a double A-side with "Hold Ya Head", a song which samples Bob Marley.
The single was released on 24th April in the UK [1] and reached #64 in the UK charts [2].
It is a modern rendition of Notorious B.I.G's and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's acclaimed collaboration on the song Notorious Thugz. In Notorious Thugz Biggie changed his normally smooth flow to a faster melodic pace to emulate Bone's trademark flow and Spit Your Game references this by including two fast verses by Twista and Krayzie Bone.

[edit] Remixes
"Spit Your Game" is a remix of "Notorious Thugs", a Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony duet on Biggie's second, diamond album Life After Death.
The song also features a remixed version, where Eightball & MJG spit a verse each towards the end of the song, though their verses have been much criticized for not keeping in context with fast rapping and doing basic slow verses. This remix will be on the compilation We Invented the Remix Vol. 2.
There is also a remix with Jay-Z and Nas.
