After eight long years, Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith are back together again and will be performing live at BB Kings in NYC on October 14th. The guest host for the evening will be DJ Mister Cee but don’t think the surprises will end there because I expect a crazy amount of artists to be in the venue that night. Redman? LL Cool J? K-Solo? Keith Murray? Busta Rhymes? Tribe? Get your tickets NOW!
Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith are back to reclaim their rightful place in the spotlight with one of the most highly anticipated reunion shows in rap history. EPMD is one of the most respected and successful hip hop groups of all time; a two-man musical tag-team whose penchant for turning rap business into the listening pleasure of millions of fans worldwide has resulted in four gold albums- Strictly Business, Unfinished Business, Business As Usual and Business Never Personal- and a streak of classic singles (“It’s My Thing,” “You’re A Customer” “Strictly Business,” “You Gots To Chill,” “So Wat Cha Sayin’,” “The Big Payback,” “Golddigger,” “Rampage,” “Crossover,” “Headbanger”) as impressive as any in hip hop history.

It includes some short but nice freestyles by Erick Sermon and PMD and most of Redman’s verse from the track Head Banger (256mb memory cards suck).

It was definitely highlight of the show for me, which is saying a lot considering it was a damn EPMD reunion show! Don’t forget to check out the other videos, some pictures and a Redman freestyle I posted earlier. videos, pictures [...]
