Now, after more than 20 years in the game and 6 albums, EPMD returns with We Mean Business, their first album on their own EP Records. The new collection is a testament to their Business plan.

Erick and I created our own vehicle to be able to drop this album. That’s how we came with the title We Mean Business, because we do.”

“It’s very important for us to stay us,” Smith adds. “People want to hear and see EPMD.” That’s because We Mean Business isn’t just an album title for EPMD. It’s a mindstate. (more…)
