EPMD, short for Erick and Parrish Making Dollars, is a Hip Hop duo formed by Brentwood, Long Island-raised Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith in 1987. Their monotone delivery and heavy use of funk samples allowed them to stand out among the East Coast hip hop groups, and led to them earning gold records for their first three albums, Strictly Business (1988), Unfinished Business (1989), and Business As Usual (1990). EPMD's popularity increased into the early 1990's, when they formed the Hit Squad, a crew of artists which included Redman, DJ Scratch, Das EFX, K-Solo, Hurricane G., and others. EPMD has dissolved and reunited twice, but have been performing together since 2006.
