Erick Sermon "Hittin' Switches" (The Source, 5/93)


"Out of the smoke, rubble and rumors surrounding the breakup of EPMD the one and only E Double resurfaces with a solo act snatched off of the upcoming "Who's The Man" soundtrack. And even though he must carry the weight of the track alone, the funky beats and rhymes displayed prove once and for all that he is still able to take care of business. Going for delf, he hits the switches with a rugged bass crawl. And when he drops his casual and unorthodox rhymes the picture is complete. I gets busy, who the hell is he? / The roughneck from New York City / You wanna mess around with the ill bastard / Then get your ass kicked, messin with the click Def Squad, now on location, with the funky sensation / You wanna step you must be freebasin / Punk, why you playin, you bored? / You can't afford, to get choked by the mic cord..." Things may be different but you'd best believe that the green-eyed bandit is still rollin' hard like a criminal." - The Source, 5/93 Check out the visuals to Erick Sermon's "Hittin Switches" off his underrated LP, No Pressure, below...
