Strictly Business is the groundbreaking debut album from influential hip-hop duo EPMD, originally released in 1988 and celebrated here in a 2018 reissue from Priority Records. Known for their seamless production, innovative use of funk samples, and the dynamic interplay between Erick Sermon's laid-back style and Parrish Smith's punchy delivery, this album set the bar for the genre’s golden age.
From the iconic title track to club favorites like “You Gots To Chill” and “The Steve Martin,” Strictly Business is packed with hard-hitting beats, sharp wordplay, and memorable grooves that remain influential decades later. This release perfectly captures the raw creativity and energy that made EPMD legends in hip-hop history.
