EPMD Enlist Raekwon, KRS-One for Comeback Album

(swiped from Pitchfork Media)

The last EPMD album was 1999's Out of Business, and between its title and the fact that it was released almost a decade ago, it seemed to be the end of the EPMD story, at least on record. But not so: Erick Sermon and Parish Smith have returned with a seventh studio album, and yes, it has "business" in its title.

We Mean Business arrives December 9 via EPMD's own EP Records and includes guest appearances from Raekwon, KRS-One, Method Man, Redman, Mobb Deep's Havoc, Keith Murray, and more.

EPMD have a pair of NYC dates coming up, and they're also taking part in a pair of Zune-sponsored charity art auctions. Folks can bid on artwork inspired by EPMD at both a December 3 We Mean Business listening party at the Zune Space in West Hollywood and the duo's December 8 gig at Santos Party House in NYC, with proceeds going to the Groundswell Community Mural Project.
