Text EntriesIn 1987, EPMD (credited as EPEE MD) debuted with their groundbreaking 12” “It’s My Thing/You’re A Customer” on Fresh/Sleeping Bag Records. “It’s My Thing” featured a loop of The Whole Darn Family’s “Seven Minutes Of Funk,” the infamous “Long Red” drums, and perfectly placed vocal samples from Marva Whitney’s “It’s My Thing” that captivated listeners.
EPMD is an American Hip-Hop duo from Brentwood, New York. The duo's name is a concatenation of the members' names "E" and "PMD" or an acronym for "Erick and Parrish Making Dollars", referring to its emcees E Double (Erick Sermon, b. 1968) and PMD (Parrish Smith, b. 1968).
