The 2015 BET Cyphers: Def Squad Reunited (Video)(Video)
October 15, 2015
The headline says it all; like its own byline. Did you see the Cyphers this year? Always the best part of the BET Hip-Hop Awards. We expect a ‘wow’ moment or two from the Awards’ broadcast; and a Cypher is a good bet for a source. Well, there was [at least] a BIG one in this year’s – Erick Sermon, Keith Murray and Redman spitting with DJ Scratch taking the Preemo spot (see what we did there?) for the set. Def Squad comes back to life for the night! Good to see.
Click the pic above to start with the Squad. Got the rest of this year’s Cyphers linked after the jump.

September 28, 2015
It’s the E-r-i-c-k. It’s Def Squad. It’s Red & Meth. It’s everything that is right with the Hip-Hop universe. It’s visuals for “Clutch” (which is saying pretty much the same thing). The single is off the “E.S.P.” album out today.

And The Next Contestant On ‘Rhythm Roulette’… Erick Sermon (Video)
April 12, 2014
So, you probably know how the E Double gets down with some Parliament or Marvin Gaye samples. But what about three random a$$ records he pulled from the Mass Appeal stacks… blindfolded. Can he make a beat from his collections? Can the Def Squad El Jefe make a beat from his selections? Click play and see.
Snoop Dogg x Method Man x Erick Sermon – “Let Me Explain” feat. RL (Video)
July 16, 2013
Snoop, Erick Sermon, and Method Man did a title/theme track for Kevin Hart’s new movie “Let Me Explain.” Guest vocals by RL. There’s a video for it, too (above).
“When Big Bob Francis of Artist Live brought the opportunity to me he emphasized the importance and influence that Kevin Hart has on not only the Hip Hop culture but the general market as well. Kevin is a major driver of cool-funny-real life conversation. He embodies all of the elements needed to engage consumers of both comedy and music content, combining the 2 is the culture and lifestyle of his fan audience.We knew Kevin could sell both. I wanted to create a tribute-reunion of the sort for and between him, Snoop and Method Man as they all worked on Kevin’s movie Soul Plane, that critics downed. The movie was actually dope and funny as hell. They were wrong about Kevin Hart, look who’s laughing now!!!”

MC Lyte – “Jordan Effect” (Produced By Erick Sermon)
February 6, 2013
One of my favorite female emcees of all-time, MC Lyte, gets busy over some tight production from Erick Sermon for this ‘Jordan Effect’ banger. Just like the Big Daddy Kane & DJ Premier joint “XX8 Bars Of Kane” we posted days earlier, this is just another custom crafted banger released for the upcoming Jordan Brand “XX8 Days Of Flight” compilation celebrating the 28th edition of the sneaker Michael Jordan made famous. The full project drops in February 15th during the NBA Allstar weekend in Houston.

EPMD Performing Live In London (Video)
February 21, 2011
Looks like EPMD are back like they never left. Erick Sermon, Parrish Smith, & DJ Scratch rocked the UK crowd a few days ago. Maybe they should change their name to ‘EPME’…… ‘Erick & Parish Making Euros’ or ‘Erick & Parish Making Pounds’
