Last year, Redman jumped into the mixtape ring with Volume 2 of the Ill At Will series, entitled BC4: Straight Outta Lo-Cash, presented by his Gilla House crew and featuring Red's collaborators Govmattic, Saukrates, Icarus, and Melanie. One track, "Da Banger," featured Jay-Z and R Kelly in the mix. The pride of Newark, Redman (Reggie Noble) broke into the pro ranks when EPMD's Erick Sermon "discovered" him in a New York club, and premiered Red's witty freestyle and hard, P-funk-influenced beats on EPMD's third Def Jam album, 1990's Business As Usual. Redman was quickly signed to the label and his debut was released in 1992. Whut? Thee Album made #1 on the R&B chart and was certified gold after a string of hit single tracks: "Blow Your Mind," "How To Roll a Blunt," "Time 4 Sum Aksion," "Tonight's Da Night," "Rated R," and "I'm a Bad." This early success led hip hop magazine The Source to name Redman the Rap Artist of the Year for 1993. 1994 brought Dare Iz A Darkside, the first of four more Def Jam albums over the next seven years. It was another gold #1 R&B seller (#13 on the pop side) whose singles included "Rockafella," "Can't Wait," and "A Million & 1 Buddah Spots." Muddy Waters followed in 1996, again breaking the gold #1 R&B seller (and moving to #12 pop) with "It's Like That (My Big Brother)," "Whateva Man," "Smoke Buddah," "Pick It Up," and "Yesh Yesh Y'all" released as singles.
		The enigmatically-titled Doc's Da Name 2000 was released in 1998 and became Redman's first platinum album (#1 R&B, #11 pop), spinning off the singles "Da Goodness" b/w "I Don't Kare," and "I'll Bee Dat" b/w "Well All Rite Cha." He went public with Def Squad on 1998's RIAA gold El Niño (#1 R&B, #2 pop), and then collaborat¬ed with Method Man on 1999's RIAA platinum Blackout! (#1 R&B, #4 pop). Malpractice arrived in 2001. Over the past decade and a half, in addition to all the above mentioned artists, Redman has also worked across the spectrum with such names as 2Pac, Canibus, Cypress Hill, De La Soul, D'Angelo, Gorillaz, Dru Hill, Jodeci, Beverley Knight, KRS-One, LL Cool J, Me'shell Ndegeocello, The Oak Ridge Boys, The Offspring, Scarface, A Tribe Called Quest, Conway Twitty, and Wyclef Jean.
