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.
