Business Never Personal

EPMD

Thick P-Funk loops and concrete-heavy drums meet the coolest deadpan delivery in hip-hop. A high-water mark for the Hit Squad and 1992 East Coast grit.

July 28, 1992 · Kross

Unflinching, street-level confidence backed by heavy, funk-drenched grooves.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive energy of Busta Rhymes shouting the rewind hook on Mic Doc
The way the heavy bassline on Chill anchors the monotone flows into a hypnotic groove
The cinematic tension of the Jane saga reaching its dark conclusion on the final track
