Listen to Erick Sermon Feat. Sheek Louch and Joell Ortiz, “Make Room”

Erick Sermon is spending his third decade in hip-hop as he spent his first two: with his head down, his ears open, his nose to the MPC. After a period where it seemed he may have vanished for good--not to mention that 2011 heart attack--the EPMD legend is back, and has brought more gritty Eastern seaboard realism with him. His new single, "Make Room," features Sheek Louch and Joell Ortiz, which proves that Sermon, if nothing else, knows his wheelhouse. (If you say you never interject your speech with D-Block, you would want to pass, but you'd also be a liar.) "Make Room" is a club song that's probably tailored for The Tunnel; with the famous haunt closed, this may be the closest facsimile. Listen to "Make Room" on iTunes.
