"I'll Be Around" is the second single released from American rapper Rappin' 4-Tay's second album, Don't Fight the Feelin' (1994). The song both samples the music and retains the original chorus of the Spinners' song of the same name, though Rappin' 4-Tay replaced the song's original lyrics with his own. The Spinners were credited as featured artists, and songwriters Thom Bell and Phil Hurtt were both given writing credits.
The song became 4-Tay's second consecutive top-40 single in the United States, peaking at number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Hot Rap Singles chart, becoming his biggest hit on that chart. It also reached number one in New Zealand and number 30 on the UK Singles Chart. The single became the Spinners' last top-40 hit in both the US and UK, 34 years after their first, "That's What Girls Are Made For" (1961).
