Eric Sermon, known professionally as E Double of EPMD (Eric and Parrish Making Dollars), is an iconic figure in the hip-hop world, celebrated for his trailblazing production work and charismatic delivery. Born on July 18, 1967, in Brooklyn, New York, Sermon rose to prominence in the late 1980s as part of the pioneering duo EPMD, alongside Parrish Smith (Parrish IS). Together, they became one of the most influential groups in hip-hop history, with a distinctive sound that fused smooth jazz samples with hard-hitting beats. Their seminal album "Strictly Business" is often cited as one of the greatest albums of all time, and it laid the groundwork for the New Jack Swing era in hip-hop. Sermon's production skills were instrumental in shaping the sound of a generation, with his handiwork evident not only on EPMD's projects but also on tracks for fellow luminaries like Redman, KRS-One, and Pete Rock. Transitioning into a solo career in the 1990s, E Double continued to showcase his versatility and depth as an artist. His collaborations with Redman, an equally revered MC known for his distinctive voice, witty lyrics, and energetic stage presence, became some of the most anticipated releases in hip-hop. The duo's chemistry was undeniable, with their first collaboration, "Rapp Over D," becoming an instant classic. Their joint efforts, such as "Music Remix" and "Come With Me," exemplified the perfect blend of their distinct styles, delivering hit after hit that resonated with audiences worldwide. Redman, whose real name is Reginald Noble, hails from Newark, New Jersey, and his partnership with E Double has been a highlight of his career. Together, they've redefined hip-hop with their playful yet potent tracks, earning them a place in the annals of rap history as icons who have consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre. Their collaborative work remains influential, inspiring a new generation of artists while continuing to entertain and energize fans across the globe.
