PMD"Parrish Smith" The founder of EPMD HIPHOPS SUPERSTAR

This is a very special blogspot issue thats dedicated to the my spiritual brother and one of the late 80's,and 90's leaders of hiphop whom of course Jay-Z,P-Diddy and a host of other MC's got their inspirations from PMD was the 1st rap artist to do his own label deals with DefJam with his own imprint the "HitSquad"which to this day are still selling our venues over seas and in america feel free to preveiw this new hot video featuring "PMD" and nigerian rap artist "Cashino" with the hit trax "All I Got" with a cameo appearance by "Nas"


PMD, Parrish Smith (aka the Mic Doctor of the classic hip-hop group EPMD), has been traveling on a long road of rocking mics, releasing records, and keeping his mind on business. From classic EPMD tracks like �It�s My Thing�, �Gold digger�, �Crossover�, to �You Gots To Chill�, PMD has dropped legendary verses and flows all throughout hip-hop history. PMD�s smooth, mellow voice along with his rugged style and b-boy attitude make him one of the most well respected old school hip-hop legends of today. The classic EPMD album �Strictly Business� had deep funky jams and a strong attitude. Other incredible EPMD albums like �Business Never Personal� and �Unfinished Business� were constant favorites of crowds, DJ�s, and fans. With his partner Erick Sermon (The Green Eyed Bandit), EPMD formed Hit Squad. One of the first hip-hop squads, The Hit Squad gave birth to now legendary emcees like Redman, Das Efx, and K-Solo. Due to many different problems, EPMD broke up in the mid-90�s and the future looked extremely bleak. PMD�s first solo album �Shade Business� was considered a luke-warm effort while his sophomore LP �Business Is Business� did better. Then, a miracle happened. EPMD reunited for the �How To Be A Player� soundtrack. They released 2 more albums (�Back In Business� and �Out Of Business�) that spawned hard-hitting hip-hop tracks like �Richter Scale�, �Never Seen Before�, and �Symphony 2000�. Since then, many well-respected hip-hop artists have made hits by jacking classic EPMD tracks. Jay-Z�s first big hit �Ain�t No�� used the beat from EPMD�s �It�s My Thing�. DMX�s bombastic debut �Get At Me Dog� used a straight-jacked loop of �Get The Bozac�. The list goes on an on. Everybody from Nas to Wu-Tang Clan to Foxxy Brown has used classic EPMD hits to make their own hits. Today, EPMD (Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith) have left Def Jam. Erick, the E Double E, has formed Def Squad with Redman and Keith Murray while PMD maintained Hit Squad. Erick Sermon signed to J Records while PMD made an alliance with the underground and indie label Solid Records to make his own Boon Dox Records. Also, his professional and friendship relationship with Japan�s own DJ Honda cemented many ill collaborations. With a brand new Hit Squad, a new label, and a brand new attitude, PMD just released his 3rd (and best) solo album �The Awakening�. While his other solo efforts were not as focused, �The Awakening� is overflowing with thick, funk beats, hardcore rhymes, steady production, and many well respected guests. It is his most focused and strongest solo LP to date. Kutmasta Kurt, DJ Muggs, Alchemist, Pete Rock, Ghetto Pros, and DJ Honda handle production on the LP. Guests include Fat Joe, Erick Sermon, K-Solo, Das Efx and more. PMD also has time to play the mentor role by signing prot�g�s like 275 and Don Fu-Quan. Still, Parrish Smith is not done. After he releases �The Awakening�, he plans to release a collaboration album with DJ Honda titled �Underground Connection�. While the future of EPMD may not be 100% certain, Parrish Smith�s future is. He will be rocking mics. PMD has redeemed himself. He has awoken from the coma of the industry and music business. Today, PMD�s business IS personal. Parrish Smith, the mic doctor, the PMD of EPMD, is back and better than ever. You better wake up.

Jay-Z Buys back the last album due in contract

It’s being reported that sometime earlier this year legendary rapper, Jay-Z, allegedly bought back the last album due to Island/Def Jam in his recording contract. The alleged sum it took to complete and close out the contract was a king’s ransom of $5 million (although this is not a confirmed amount).

It appears Jigga is ready to move on and build an empire with his new Roc Nation label over at Live Nation. So there is a great chance his eagerly awaited album “The Blueprint 3” will be his debut LP on the Roc Nation venture.

Jay has also been busy signing acts to the new ROC…key signings so far include up and coming rappers J. Cole, Mikey Factz and British Pop girl group SugaBabes. Rumors are also saying that Jay might sign State Property to the new Roc with all the original members reunited.

The Impact of Gangster HipHop Lyric's&Our Kids!

There is a very good reason for the problems we all have witness or have experience when its comes street gangster hiphop and rap.Which has become a definitive cultural movement of our generation of this day and time. Young adults follow trends that rappers initiate whether good or bad – in our generation today it’s not just a following it’s a way of being. When rap first emerged in the 1980’s politicians challenged it’s content, which created a divide amongst hip hop generationers and the Blacks of the civil rights. Studies show that black boys and girls are actually more knowledgeable about issues such as AIDS and politics when they listen to hip hop as well as the white boys and girls whom also can relate to hiphop and the power of this very American Culture which our news media will never control, as karma continues to come back around which is not black or white its just life.

Rapper T.I. Has Still Got The Heat!

During the last several months for atl hiphop rap star "TI" in his personal life there has being some very serious rides of not smooth bumps in the roads,but by his faith and favor in our creator he has shown resilience and perseverance to the world and the music business with his latest Cd "Paper Trail" and here are the lastest developments of those efforts .Kids went crazy once it was announced that TI would be performing at Roxborough High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Prior to even hitting the stage rumors were in full effect that the King of The South would be in the building.

Once he hit the stage there were no empty seats! Cameras were flashing, girls were screaming and all of the latest dance moves were on display in the auditorium. After the roars of the crowd calmed down TI encouraged the senior class of Roxborough High School by telling them to get involved! He opened the floor for questions, and stressed the need to be Patient while at the polls. The lines are expected to be very long so you must be Persistent and don’t allow any confusion to deter you from casting your ballot. In concluding his speech TI challenged the students to prove those wrong who claim that young people don’t vote!

After being asked multiple times what candidate he endorsed TI made it a point to stress to the students that their voting decisions should be solely based on there needs because if your casting your vote based on the decision of your favorite celebrity then you are doing yourself a disservice. The issues that face people are very different and you must be sure to choose the candidate that will impact your needs in a positive manner.

The surprise TI visit concluded by a young lady by the name of Shayna Safford sharing a poem she wrote for TI. She was not scared to share her poetry with all those in attendance and she informed me that this poem is something she always keeps with her. What a lucky girl she is to have had the opportunity to share it with TI.This goes to show us grown ups and the kids that even doe sometimes we all make the wrong choices and the decisions our faith in our creator the great "Iam That Iam" will always be the most powerful spirit to show the world the outcome if will stay focus.
