Let’s fast forward a few years to 1996: This would prove to be a very busy year for the “funk doctor”, not only would he join forces with Keith Murray and Erick Sermon to bring us Def Squad, but he would also release what the hip hop world would recognize as his best work and my favorite in his catalog, “Muddy Waters”. After being featured on EPMD’s “Business As Usual” album in 1990, Redman hit the studio and would debut his own solo in 1992. This ultimately got him signed by Sermon. The first real exposure Redman had to the rap scene was in 1990, when he was invited on stage to do a freestyle, and unlike any freestyle before it, Red got on stage and freestyled a song that described himself using every letter in the alphabet.
