Erick Sermon
All Music Guide
One-half of the legendary hip-hop duo EPMD, Erick Sermon was also among the genres most prominent producers, deservedly earning the alias Funklord with his trademark raw, bass-heavy grooves. Born in Bayshore, NY, on November 25, 1968, Sermon -- aka E Double, the Green-Eyed Bandit, and MC Grand Royal -- teamed with rapper Parrish Smith in 1986 to form EPMD, an acronym for Erick and Parrish Making Dollars; signing to the tiny Sleeping Bag label, they soon released their debut 12, Its My Thing, which went on to sell an astounding 500,000 copies. In the years to follow, EPMD emerged as one of aps most vital acts, their hard-edged beats and Sermons mumbled, monotone delivery becoming a great influence on the burgeoning gangsta movement. In addition to producing their own material, the duo also helmed records for the extended family of performers dubbed the Hit Squad, whose ranks included Redman, K Solo, and Das EFX. In early 1993, EPMD disbanded, and Sermon soon resurfaced with his solo debut, No Pressure; he also became a sought-after producer and remixer, working with everyone from En Vogue to Blackstreet to Shaquille ONeal. After a second solo effort, 1995s Double or Nothing, he and Smith reformed EPMD in 1997, releasing the LP Back in Business.
