5.0 out of 5 stars E-Double Stays Real on his first solo LP, November 9, 2003

By	SmokaJ (TORONTO) - See all my reviews

This album released in 1993, marked Erick Sermon's first album w/o Parrish Smith (PMD). "No Pressure" came 1 year after EPMD released "Business As Usual," & "Business Never Personal," both in 1992 and both are the duo's best albums. After the break-up, Sermon was on a mission to prove that he is the wealth of talent and creativity behind EPMD (which we all knew he was, but after this release all critics & doubters were silenced).

This LP is stuffed full of fresh & funky beats and rhymes. It's as if dropping PMD only allowed Sermon to fully reach his pinnacle and focus all his concentration on his solo projects and more importantly it gave him the necessary space & time to prpoperly mold and mentor his deciples; Redman & Keith Murray (this Def Squad trio is hands down one of Hip-Hop's greatest rap acts ever). Check out track #14, Swing It Over Here feat. Keith Murray & Redman. An interesting fact, track #5, Hostile, is Keith Murray's introduction to the world...his first track ever. This album holds pieces of Hip-Hop history.

Every track is sick, reminding me of EPMD's best work, but minus PMD (which only makes things better).

Bottom Line: Any fan of EPMD, Def Squad or anyone who just enjoys funky, up-beat, east-coast Hip-Hop, needs this album in their collection. A perfect 5 stars. Peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Killa Debut From E-Dubbsta, April 1, 2007

By	G-Funk 4ever "Honda Civic" (Listenin' to the Delfonics) - See all my reviews

Erick Sermon brings heat on his first solo after EPMD split. 1993's No Pressure has a lot going for it. He may have competition in the MC department, but the production is what we like most about his albums. The beats are simply immaculate. I love the East-West collabo with Kam and Ice Cube, on "The Ill S---;" the title is self explanatory with each givin' A-1 performances rippin the mic to shreds, and the beat suits each one's styles well. All 3 have aawesome chemistry together. I love the Zapp and Roger samples on tracks like "Stay Real" where u can hear Roger's talk box sampled in the hook. Redman and Keith Murray make appearances, and that just adds to the entertainment. All in all, simply, this album slaps all the way thru!
