    EPMD It's My Thing

    Mr Bongo
      • 1. It's My Thing
      • 2. You're A Customer

      **Stunning debut that has become a hip-hop classic - ships for Friday's release date!**

      On both 'It's My Thing' – underpinned by the languorous 'Seven Minutes of Funk' by The Whole Darn Family – and 'You're a Customer', with its combination of ZZ Top and Steve Miller Band – Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith slow things right down. It gives their vocals time to breathe and allows us to enjoy the interplay of their metaphor and simile-heavy lyrics. As calling cards go, they don't come any better than this.
