After almost 30 years, Redman has released Muddy Waters Too, the project is the sequel to his classic Muddy Waters which was dropped in 1996. The album is the New Jersey native’s first full-length effort in almost a decade following 2015’s Mudface.
Released on Christmas Eve, the long-anticipated project features guest appearances from Method Man, Snoop Dogg, and KRS-One.
Singles from the album include“Jersey” and “Don’t Wanna C Me Rich.”
Spanning 32 tracks, Shaquille O’Neal, Queen Latifah, Naughty By Nature, Faith Evans, Sheek Louch, Kid Capri, and Rah Digga are also featured.
On the production, frequent collaborators Erick Sermon and Rockwilder are behind the boards. Also, Red himself, Mike & Keys, Rick Rock, and Khrysis contribute production to the album.
Although he hasn’t released a new project in some time, the “I’ll Be Dat” rapper has been appearing in roles in TV and film. He had a recurring role on the Straz hit drama Power Book II: Ghost and starred in A Hip Hop Family Christmas.
Throughout his legendary career, Redman had tons of features but working with Christina Aguilera was a game-changer.
During an interview for Red Bull’s Red Bull Spiral, Redman shared how it significantly boosted his career and finances.
“Christina is one of my favorite collabs,” he said. “I got on the record, and after that, that shit took off. We was everywhere, bro. She brought me on tour; we was overseas. That album, [Stripped], was one of her biggest albums.”
After collaborating with Aguilera, Redman learned just how much money could be made in the pop music world.
“I got to actually see how a pop artist shakes and moves through this industry, and it’s another level than Hip Hop,” he noted. “My publishing check?! Oh my God! My publishing check, n*gga?! I couldn’t believe I got that much money for one verse. It was over $250k my first check.”
