Beastiemania.com - Who Is Who - The Def Squad (376 words)
The Def Squad is team of long time friends Redman, Keith Murray and Erick Sermon, who separately have each had success as rap artists.
This is period where it is presumed that Erick Sermon teamed up with the Beastie Boys to record the "Body Movin’ Def Squad remix." Perhaps the two groups bumped into each other at the Masterdisk studio in New York as the final mixes were being completed on their albums.
The Def Squad team actually replaced the original vocals with their own, leaving very little of the Beastie Boys’ initial contribution intact.
Def Squad Presents Erick Onasis - Def Squad - Song Listings (703 words)
Erick Sermon, "the Green Eyed Bandit," the premier East Coast funketeer, and one-half of one of hip-hop's pillar groups, EPMD, returned as Erick Onassis alongside the Def Squad in the summer of 2000.
Eazy-E appears posthumously on "So Sweet." Def Squad crooner Dave Hollister adds his vocal styling to "Can't Stop." But the best cut is arguably "Van Gundy," a posse joint in which E's old tag-team partner Parish Smith bats clean-up.
