EPMD is an American hip hop group from Brentwood, New York. The group's name is a concatenation of the members' names "E" and "PMD" or an acronym for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars", referencing its members, emcees Erick Sermon ("E" aka E Double) and Parrish Smith ("PMD" aka Parrish Mic Doc). During an interview on college radio station WHOV in 1987, Parrish Smith stated that the name evolved from the original: "We were originally known as "EEPMD" (Easy Erick and Parrish the Microphone Doctor), but chose to go with EPMD because it was easier to say." He also stated that they dropped the two "E's" because N.W.A.'s Eric Wright was already using "Eazy-E" as his stage name. The group has been active for 30 years (minus two breakups in 1993 and 1999), and is one of the most prominent acts in east coast hip hop. Diamond J and DJ K La Boss were DJs for the group and their current DJ is DJ Scratch
The word "business" is used in every title of the group's albums. Every album also has a track with "Jane" in the title.
Strictly Business may refer to:
Parrish J. Smith (born May 13, 1968), better known as PMD (Parrish Mic Doc), is an east coast rapper from Smithtown, Long Island and one-third of EPMD.

http://www.vladtv.com - The Green-Eyed Bandit Erick Sermon heightened his impact on Hip-Hop as one half of the legendary group EPMD, and recently the Long Island native stopped by VladTV to discuss how EPMD's early success impacted his life as an MC and as a man, people mistaking the group's sound for being from California, and how Ice Cube first told EPMD that he planned to leave N.W.A. When commenting about the group's debut 'Strictly Business' earning a spot on the Billboard 200, Erick explains, "It was a phenomenon...If my group didn't break up, there's no telling where we would have been, 'cause we was out of control." While traveling down memory lane, he refers to other artists like Das EFX, Redman, and K-Solo, who themselves earned acclaim from the lane that EPMD helped to pave. T...

The Konnected Magazine had a chance to interview the Legendary Hip Hop group EPMD for their 25th Anniversary of Business As Usual. The interview really showed how they were ahead of their time. They helped to shape hip hop from the songs they wrote, how they dressed, the words they used and not to mention the most sampled hip hop group ever! We also meet up with Rakim, Chubb Rock, Smack & Beasley (URL) & DJ Diamond as they talked about what EPMD meant to them. Check out the interview conducted by DJ Mondaenyte, Videography by GDMG Productions,JB aka Kraze and Executive Produced by Kevan Glover. Follow us on social media @TheKonnected
Redman recalls when EMPD's break happened and says the split wasn't amicable. While living with Erick Sermon, the rapper says the feud was based on financial disputes that got so bad that his home was shot up. "It got real crazy. House invasion to E's house getting shot up." He said, "My room that I stayed in at E's house—bullet holes were through that room and s*** and it got pretty crazy!" Redman explained that after his first album release he was hoping to go on tour with EMPD; however, their conflict prevented his dream from coming to fruition. Things got so awkward when the team split, and Red and the team were forced to choose sides. Things really got "nuts" when E's chain was stolen from the house, and Red says that he and K-Solo went to the thief's home. The pair then forced him t...
In this clip, Erick Sermon tells us about a beef that was sparked between EPMD and Rakim back in the days. He also tells us about how to treat the fans because without them we are nothing!

Verse one: erick sermon
Epmd fans stay focused, e's about to freak it
Hardcore, but not rough enough to bleep it
So relax and chill, get down with the brother
And like damon wayans, we're living in black colour
Sheik, the beats make em freak
A unique technique, with flavors like black sheep
You know my style's mad rugged, you love it
You never heard the funk before the e was discovered
I'm bad, renegade wrangler, mic strangler
Funk arranger, e.d's danger
We make the sounds that make you *owwwww!*
Make you wanna scream like james brown so I can rock a town
I'm real swift, I bring light to a skip
I rock the party all night, the crowd chant my shit
I leave at sundown, walk away chillin
Cool, and keep mental like mike bivins
Then I find the hit'squad, and stop buckwhylin
Chump, cause i'ma...
Verse two: parrish smith
Peace to the posse, yeah ok you got me
Another rap chumpie about to o.d.
Beat fanatic fiend from the hard scene
You know the kid in the benz s-o with the fog beam
Skins cool I mingle girls are simple
'i'll be gentle, I'll be very gentle'
Don't bug on my rap skill boy, because it's mental
Squaad is mad truck, quick to snuff a duck
No bluff, your neck'll get snapped so kill the ruff stuff
Brentwood's my town home of beatdowns
Dress code is don't care so take a chill clown
Smallest place on the map we're bustin big caps
Where girlies troop tim boots and baseball caps
That's where I'm from chump, still buckwhylin
Bust it hobbes, cause i'ma
Verse three: erick sermon, parrish smith
Now it's time for me the e to rock it loco
No need to guess homeboy, you know my vocals
Gimme a break to stay focused on my tape
I'm more than great, I got the key to my state
I'm rough like brillo, I bust like a pistol
The b-boy form is nine mil or is til
The underground sound be pumped for the new jacks
Who loves you baby? I'm not bo jackson, get the bozack
Yeah, bo-e-oh-e-o-zack, check the format
Hardcore underground, just like amtrak
Word to herb got more steel than pittsburgh
So easy with the smart comments, or boy you get served
I'm cock-d keep you dancin like ali
Collect the dough you know and then I'm swayze
On the downlow, no profilin or buckwhylin
