The Story
With a groove that commands the dance floor and lyrical wit that resonates in the heart of East Coast hip-hop, EPMD stands tall as a legendary duo from Brentwood, New York. Comprised of the dynamic emcees Erick Sermon and PMD, they coined their name as an acronym for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars," a playful nod to their hustle and camaraderie. Their infectious tracks, like the iconic “Strictly Business,” showcase their seamless blend of sharp lyricism and funky beats, while DJ Scratch adds a masterful touch to their sound. EPMD not only redefined the genre but also set a standard for creativity and collaboration, leaving a lasting legacy that continues to influence artists today. With every beat, they remind us of the joy and grit that define the spirit of hip-hop.
