Relax Your Mind, Let Your Conscience Be Free

Back in the late 80's emerged a rap duo that was smoooove... the legendary duo from Brentwood, NY rapped like they were in no hurry and called themselves EPMD (the E for Erick Sermon and the P for Parrish Smith = Erick and Parrish Making Dollars).

From their debut album (which I used to have on cassette) called "Strictly Business", today's song gave us some memorable lines like "If you're tired, then go take a nap." But, most of all, sampling from Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie," and funk band Zapp's "More Bounce to the Ounce," EPMD told us all "You Gots to Chill"...
