No Pressure is the solo debut studio album from American hip hop artist Erick Sermon, released in October 19, 1993 on Def Jam Recordings.

Contents

The album peaked at number sixteen on the Billboard 200 chart.

Release and reception

The album peaked at sixteen on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached the second spot on the R&B Albums chart.

Ron Wynn of Allmusic noted the album's aesthetic being the same as when Sermon was still in EPMD; "fat, crunching basslines, neatly inserted samples lifted mainly from Zapp, tight vocal edits, and Sermon's mush-mouthed, deadpan raps." Wynn ended his review stating that "No Pressure is as much, if not more, EPMD's final release as Erick Sermon's debut."
