Da Joint
1997 single by EPMD
"Da Joint" (sometimes spelt "The Joint") is the first single from EPMD's fifth album, Back in Business. Produced by Erick Sermon and Rockwilder, "Da Joint" became EPMD's second and final single to make it to the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 94 on the chart with approximately 100,000 copies sold in the first week. "Da Joint" was released a week before the Back in Business album, making it to the first release by the newly reformed EPMD since the group's 1992 single, "Head Banger".
Hype Williams was planning to shoot the music video for "Da Joint", but those plans never materialized. Instead, Steve Carr directed the music video.
