No Pressure is the debut solo album from Erick Sermon. It was the first album that the former EPMD member released after 1992’s Business Never Personal. It was well-received and is probably his most popular album. Although the album’s goal may have been for Sermon to establish a solo career, some feel that it sounded much like an EPMD album, which was not necessarily a bad thing.
