They are considered pioneers of the East Coast hip hop sound, blending funk and samples to create a unique style that set them apart in the rap scene.

EPMD released their debut album "Strictly Business" in 1988, which was a critical and commercial success. They followed up with several more albums throughout the 1990s, including "Unfinished Business" and "Business Never Personal."
