Business As Usual is the third album from Hip Hop duo EPMD, their first on leading rap label Def Jam. This effort was not as acclaimed as their first two albums, but was not considered to be a failure. One notable aspect here was the debut of future Hip Hop star Redman, who appears on the tracks "Hardcore" and "Brothers On My Jock". The single "Gold Digger" became a rap hit in 1990. In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums.

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on May 7, 1991.
