Unfinished Business is the second collaboration album between R&B artist R. Kelly and rapper Jay Z and was released worldwide on October 26, 2004. It was distributed in the United States and Canada by Jive Records and Island Def Jam Music Group, by the Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) and its subsidiary Jive Records, except in Canada and the United States of America where Island Def Jam Music Group and its labels Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records replaced BMG. The album was composed of unreleased tracks from the recording sessions of 2002's The Best of Both Worlds, although slight additions were made.
Unfinished Business was promoted by the "Best of Both Worlds" concert tour with R. Kelly and Jay Z performing songs from both their solo and joint albums. Two singles, " Big Chips" and "Don’t Let Me Die", were sent to radio stations, but only the former saw a physical release.
Unfinished Business debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart amid controversy & criticism. Like its predecessor, it was criticized for repetitive lyrics. The "Best of Both Worlds" tour filled with tension and accusations that boiled over at an October 31 show where R. Kelly was accused of erratic behavior and was pepper sprayed by a Jay Z associate. Jay Z and the tour promoter then banned R. Kelly from the tour claiming "lack of professionalism". R. Kelly responded by suing his co-act and touring company for $75 million for breach of contract, among other things, on November 2. Unfinished Business was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on December 1 for selling more than 1,000,000 copies in the US.
Unfinished Business is the second album from Hip Hop duo EPMD. Released August 1, 1989, the album built upon the success of the group's previous album Strictly Business, which was released the previous year. The lead single, " So Wat Cha Sayin'," was the only charting single released from the album. In 1998 the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums and, in 2005, was ranked #7 on comedian Chris Rock's Top 25 Hip-Hop Albums of all-time list for Rolling Stone magazine. It was the second album from the group to hit #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on October 16, 1989. It was one of three albums that Priority/EMI Records acquired from Sleeping Bag Records when it ceased operations in 1991.

"Unfinished Business" is a song released by UK band White Lies on 28 April 2008 on 7" vinyl. It was limited to 500 copies. A re-recorded version of the song appears on their debut album To Lose My Life.... The most obvious difference is that the album version does not feature the high-pitched backing vocals by bassist Charles Cave during the final chorus.
The single's B-side, "You Still Love Him", shares its chorus melody and lyrics with the song "One Night Friend". "One Night Friend" had previously been recorded by the band under their previous incarnation, Fear of Flying. During their 2009 European tour, White Lies began playing "You Still Love Him" live for the first time.
"Unfinished Business" was written in under fifteen minutes, and directly led to the band's later name change. Lyrically the song concerns a man trying to reconnect with his estranged girlfriend, only to realise that she has already killed him, and he is in fact now a ghost. He nevertheless still tries to "dance like we used to" before the "light in the distance" comes for him.
"Unfinished Business" was notably covered by Mumford and Sons on Australian radio station Triple J on their segment 'Like a Version' and features on the sixth album of the segment's cover versions, alongside artists such as Regina Spektor, OK Go & Alexisonfire.
