Redman has been doing movie, DVDs and more since his 2001 Malpractice album. Lucklily he's kept fans going with his Ill At Will volumes 1&2 and introduced us to his Gilla House crew of Icarus, Ready Roc, E3, Runt Dog, Saukrates, and Melanie but the fans have been waiting for Red Gone Wild for at least three years.

What is up with Def Jam?

Well we can't answer that last question but can announce that Red Gone Wild is finally out in stores. This 23 track CD features production from Timbaland, Scott Storch, Erick Sermon, Da Mascot, Tha Chill, DJ Clark
Kent, Rockwilder, Pete Rock, Watts, E3, Da Omen, Watts, Vitamin D, Adam Deitch & Chris "Max" Pinset.

This album is features Redman in his party happy, weed smoking self with help from the Gilla House team,
Def Squad, DJ Kool, Biz Markie and the Return of Hurricane G! Every once in a while he gotta get on a track like "Dis Iz Brick City" and let you know he can tear any rapper a new hole if he wants too but it's basically smack talking, tree blowing great metaphors and slang usage.

Songs you need to pay attention to include "Put It Down", a definite party banger, "Sumtn 4 Urrbody", a track featuring the Gilla crew, "Wutchoogonnado", "Soopaman Luva 6", "Blow Treez" and "Suicide". While not his best work it's years overdue and is still high quality and his wit and skits are always on point.

This LP is worthy of a 4 GeoGlobe rating.
The good thing about Redman is he's never taken Rap too seriously and still manages to be one of the best. I look to hear more from Red on the forthcoming Muddy Waters 2 scheduled to come out in late 2007!
