}}Back in Business is the return 5th album from the hip-hop duo EPMD, which broke up because of personal problems in 1992. After releasing four successful albums between 1988 and 1992 (all of them being considered classics), the duo returned with another successful effort. The single "Da Joint" became their second Billboard Hot 100 hit in 1997. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on November 17, 1997.
