Strictly Business" is the debut single by EPMD from its debut album, Strictly Business. Written and produced by the duo, "Strictly Business" became EPMD's first charting single, becoming a minor hit on the R&B charts. Although not a huge success when it was released, "Strictly Business" has since become a hip hop classic, making it to several best hip hop songs lists.

A pair from Long Island, EPMD weren't real-life hardcore rappers - it's hard to believe the same voice who talks of spraying a crowd on one track could be name-checking the Hardy Boys later on - but their no-nonsense, monotoned delivery brooked no arguments. With their album debut, Strictly Business, Erick Sermon and Parrish Smith really turned rapping on its head; instead of simple lyrics delivered with a hyped, theatrical tone, they dropped the dopest rhymes as though they spoke them all the time.
