Hailing from Brentwood, New York, EPMD is a foundational East Coast hip-hop duo comprised of emcees Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith. Active for nearly four decades, the group established their signature sound after signing with Sleeping Bag Records. The duo's name, an initialism for Erick and Parrish Making Dollars, reflects their long-standing partnership, which has persisted through several career hiatuses since their formation in the United States.
