Erick Sermon’s second solo album, Double or Nothing, was released through Def Jam on November 7, 1995. The album reached the #35 spot on the Billboard 200 with support from the singles “Bomdigi” and “Welcome” with Keith Murray and Aaron Hall, as well as the popular album cut “Tell ‘Em” with Keith Murray and Roz Noble. Redman and Jazze Pha also makes appearances on the album. Erick said the following about the album in a 2012 interview with Vibe: When I hear people talking about this album this is the one that the underground speaks about. Double or Nothing was sick to them. I had so many drum sounds for this one. I was back in New York for a quick stint for that album. That’s why it sounds harder. Even though I was living in Georgia I did most of Double or Nothing in New York City. And you can tell.
