EPMD
aka "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars"
rappers : Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith
DJ Scratch and Dj K La Boss

EPMD was an American hip hop music group from Brentwood, New York, active from 1987 to 1999 ; 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"). DJ K La Boss and later DJ Scratch were DJs for the group.

Their first album, Strictly Business, appeared in 1988, spawning the massive underground hit "Strictly Business", sampling Eric Clapton’s version of "I Shot the Sheriff". Many critics see their first album as their most influential. However, the group’s brand of funk-fueled sample-heavy hip hop proved to be a major force in hip-hop. Unlike old school hip hop, which was first based on disco hits but eventually became more electronic, EPMD based its music mainly on samples, and helped to popularize their usage,
along with Marley Marl and Public Enemy.

In 1992, EPMD had a hit with their song Crossover which lamented rappers selling-out in order to become successful mainstream and pop stars. After a hiatus from 1993 to 1997, EPMD regrouped for two more albums, Back In Business (1997) and Out Of Business (1999) before finally disbanding in 1999.
