After years tearing it out
the frame doing classic freestyles across the Tri-state area, Redman burst
out upon the Hip-Hop scene in 1991 by catching wreck with his gift of vocab
on the EPMD tracks "Hardcore and "Brothers On My Jock." Soon
after he gained more props by releasing his first funky single "Blow
Your Mind" off the now Gold debut album "Whut? Thee Album."
It contained gem tracks such as "Time 4 some Akshun" and "Tonight's
The Night." Besides that, Redman was also a powerful force in The Hit
Squad, a crew in Hip-Hop so revered any mention of the name brought instant
respect.
But that was two years ago, and a lot has happened in between. In 1993 Redman
was voted by The Source as the top rap artist of the year. And Now Redman
returns to reveal "Dare Is A Dark Side", his highly anticipated
follow-up on Def Jam Recordings. The title for the new platter came easily
as the mc has gone through a barrage of stress, trials and tribulations
career wise, in addition to the everyday struggle of maintaining out in
society.
