Over the class of four albums (from the 1988 classical Rigorously Business to 1992's Business Never Personal), they seldom wide-ranging from deuce themes: dissing sucker MCs and relation sexual exploits. But a finisher look reveals that the duo's rhymes were nix less than unbelievable, simply undervalued because of their deficiency of intonation during obstetrical delivery. EPMD besides had a feel for a upright groove, and created numerous hip-hop classics, including "It's My Thing," "You Gots to Chill," "Stimulate the Bozack," "Purely Business," and "Violent disorder." Though EPMD's hardcore style influenced the urban-oriented gangsta '90s, Erick Sermon (aka E Double E; b. Nov. 25, 1968) and Parrish Smith (aka Pee MD; b. May 13, 1968) were both brocaded in the Long Island suburbia of Brentwood. They touched into rap individually, with Smith DJing for Rock Squad on a single for Tommy Boy. After coming together in 1987 -- appointment themselves EPMD, little for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars" -- the duette recorded their debut "It's My Thing" in three hours. The single was later accredited to Chrysalis, and EPMD sign-language to Sleeping Bag/Fresh Records for debut album Rigorously Business. Propelled by several strong singles ("You Gots to Chill," the title lead), the album finally went amber, as did 1989's followup, Unfinished Business. Signed to Def Jam by the beginning of the '90s, EPMD returned in 1990 with Business As Usual and Business Never Personal two long time later. By 1992, they presided over an extended family dubbed the Hit Squad, including Redman, K-Solo, and Das EFX. The duette split later that class, however, prompting solo careers for each; Sermon debuted in 1993 with No Pressure, and Smith made his statement on 1994's Shade Business. The duette re-formed EPMD in 1997, recording a strong comeback LP, Back in Business. Out of Business followed in 1999.
