"Shoomp" is a single by De La Soul released in 2003. The song features Sean Paul, while its b-side, "Much More", features the high pitched vocals of Yummy Bingham. Both songs were produced by the late J Dilla, who at the time was exploring a sound more off-kilter than the neo-soul style which he was known for, through his work with Erykah Badu, The Roots, and Common. The song was the first release from the group after they left their longtime label, Tommy Boy, in 2002. After receiving poor promotion for their previous album, "", the group decided to find a new home and established their own independent imprint, called AOI Records.

"Shoomp" contains samples from the intro to Sean Paul's hit song, "Like Glue", as well as "Genius of Love" by Tom Tom Club. "Much More" contains samples from "Love Ballad" by L.T.D. & elements of "Strawberry Letter 23" by Shuggie Otis.

The promo 12" single was edited in March 2003 with "Much More" as the A-Side and "Shoomp" as the B-side. De La Soul and Yummy shot a live video of "Much More" for the Dave Chapelle Show in April 2003. When the single was released in the UK, "Shoomp" became the A-side, due to the popularity of Sean Paul and "Much More" became the B-side. The 12" vinyl-only single was released on August 4th, 2003 in the UK and reached number #85.
