EPMD is an American hip-hop music group from Brentwood, New York, active from 1987 to 1999, reuniting in 2006; one of the prominent acts in East coast hip hop.
The group’s name is an acronym for “Erick and Parrish Making Dollars”, referencing its members: rappers Erick Sermon (“E Double”) and Parrish Smith (“PMD”). Diamond J, DJ K La Boss, and later DJ Scratch were DJs for the group.
The duo split by January of 1993, under controversial circumstances. According to interviews in The Source and Rap Pages, in late 1991, Smith’s house was burgled by armed intruders. According to Smith, in the ensuing police investigation, one of the apprehended culprits supposedly gave up Sermon’s name as having allegedly paid them to do it. Sermon was arrested and briefly detained for questioning, but no charges were filed.

One of the best Hip Hop duo of all time, up there with Eric B & Rakim [2]\ I'd go as far as to say even better than Eric B & Rakim. Yea I said it!! (obviously "Paid in Full" isn't included because it's part of the old testament/gospel)

Hey all, wrote about a dude closely related to EPMD...their dancer, Stezo, who went on to make a pretty good old school record after Stricty Business. Check it out: http://emaciatedwildebeest.tumblr.com/post/5626605264

EPMD's album titles are commandments for husslin; "follow these rules you'll have made bread to break up, if not 24 years on the wake up. slug hit your temple, watch your frame shakeup" not EPMD, but makes my point(s). Business Never Personal, Business As Usual, Back In Business, Strictly Business....you know what i'm spraying.
