Hot Stuff feat. KM MARKIT is the fifteenth single by Japanese singer songwriter Kumi Koda. It charted No. 10 on the Oricon charts and remained on the charts for ten weeks. The single was limited to 30,000 copies and has since sold over 29,000. The single was only released in CD+DVD format, with the CD containing four songs and the DVD carrying three videos, along with the making video of the title track. "Hot Stuff" featured Japanese rapper KM MARKIT, who was part of the Urbarian Gym (UBG) and, at the time, was making a debut as a solo artist under the Pony Canyon label. The single contained three b sides, all which were remixes. It also carried the "Kakuhen Musou Tenshou" (確変無想転生) remix for "Hot Stuff," which featured both KM MARKIT and underground rapper UZI. The song was used in April 2005 as the ending theme to TX's television program Ryuha R (流派－Ｒ / School R). The song's remix was originally released as a bonus track on her secret album. The DVD carried the music video to "Hot Stuff," along with the "Thanks to MAM & GRAMMA" version of "Trust You" and a live clip of "Selfish." The original video to "Trust You" was on her DVD girls ~Selfish~, as well as the corresponding album, secret. A dance version to "Hot Stuff" was later released on the DVD of her third compilation album, Best ~Bounce & Lovers~, though this version omitted KM MARKIT's appearance in the video. Kumi would collaborate again with KM MARKIT for the song "Rainy Day," which was released on his debut album, Vivid, though he was under the Pony Canyon label. Vivid also harbored the music video for the song when placed into a DVD player.

Along with featuring rapper KM MARKIT, the music video to Hot Stuff carried a street fighting theme, along with underground hip hop dancing themes. The video opens with street fighting, but is predominantly centered around Kumi's dance crew battling the rival crew, which is hinted to be KM MARKIT's, though the rapper is not featured in the dancing scenes. The music video was heavily inspired by the 2003 Chris Stokes film You Got Served, which had opened No. 1 at the box office upon its release and featured R&B rappers Marques Houston and Omari "Omarion" Grandberry. A dance version was later released on her third compilation album Best ~Bounce & Lovers~. This edition omitted the street fighting scenes and KM MARKIT's physical appearance, instead only focusing on the dance battle.
