Business Never Personal

Released

A foggy and soggy clump of noise and rhymes. Erick Sermon rhymes and produces hot lava, the innovator of slowness from 1988 onwards, as responsible for boom bap as anyone. EPMD are crucial in hip-hop’s evolution into totally unfriendly and antagonistic music that shakes your block like the sweepy tank.
