So how involved were you with the creation of your character in the game? ES: I went down there and I wanted a certain move from a certain wrestler. IGNM: Would you consider yourself a gamer? ES: In what sense? IGNM: I mean do you rock a PS2 or an Xbox at the crib? ES: For me, I don't claim to be nice like that, but I can hold my own on any game on a PS2. He came to me with that and it was something that they thought I would be interested in, which I was. How did you get involved in that? ES: That was just something from Russell. IGNM: So in addition to the new album, one of the other projects you're involved in is the upcoming Def Jam Fight For New York video game. Spence D., Editor-In-Chief, IGN Music: E-Dub! What's up with you? Erick Sermon: Just chillin'. He dropped his fifth solo album, Chilltown, New York on June 22nd.
Sermon resumed his successful solo career with two back-to-back albums for J-Records before being signed by Universal Motown at the tale end of 2003.
Sermon then reunited with Smith to re-form EPMD in 1997 and the two released Back In Business, which was followed by Out Of Business in 1999, at which time they split again. He followed this up with Double Or Nothing in 1995. At this time he'd made the move from New York to Atlanta, and even opened up a fairly famous rim shop to cater to burgeoning car fetish that was beginning to grip the hip-hop community. Sermon released his first solo effort, No Pressure, in 1993 following the dissolution of EPMD. Not only that, but the two created the on-going story rap in the form of the song "Jane," which kicked off on their 1988 debut Strictly Business and continued on each subsequent effort. As one half of the seminal Long Island duo EPMD, Sermon's thick tongued delivery counter-balanced the crisp flow of his then partner Parrish Smith and together the two crafted the oft imitated, but never duplicated "slow flow," a languid rhyme style that rolled over down tempo BPMs to create true low-end theory. Anybody who knows anything about rap music should be familiar with the name Erick Sermon.
