We Mean Business

EPMD

Heavyweight boom bap that trades lo-fi warmth for a polished, aggressive punch. A late-career statement of veteran dominance and thick, funk-driven low end.

December 9, 2008 · Bodog Music

Find on Amazon

A relentless, confident display of veteran authority and thick, urban funk.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, distorted guitar riff that anchors the aggressive bounce of Blow.
The return of the iconic Jane series on track 10, maintaining the group's longest-running narrative tradition.
The seamless vocal hand-offs between Parrish and Erick on Roc-Da-Spot, proving their chemistry remains untouched by time.
