EPMD

EPMD, short for Erick and Parrish Making Dollars, is a Hip Hop duo formed by Brentwood, Long Island-raised [a=Erick Sermon] and [a=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. They formed the Hit Squad in the early 1990's, a crew of artists which included [a=Redman], [a55740], [a=Das Efx], [a=K-Solo], and [a183899]. EPMD has dissolved and reunited twice, but have been performing together since 2006.
