Hip-hop is no country for old men — but legendary duo EPMD proves that you can still remain true to your classic sound while delivering vibrant, relevant music for today. On We Mean Business, their first LP since 1999’s Out of Business, Erick and Parrish return with the same funk and laid-back rhymes that made them one of the most respected acts in hip-hop during the ‘80s and ‘90s. “Blow” follows in the confrontational duo’s hard-hitting tradition, and the DJ Honda-produced “Never Defeat ‘Em” is a great collabo with fellow East Coast stalwart, Method Man. Coming on the heels of Q-Tip’s critically acclaimed The Renaissance, We Mean Business is another modern-day masterwork from a returning act that never should’ve left the scene in the first place. –dusty culpepper
