Redman – American rapper and actor
Redman was born on 17 April 1970 in New Jersey. His real name is Reginald "Reggie" Noble. He is also known under such pseudonyms as Doc, Funk Doctor Spock, and Red. Reggie’s parents wanted him to get a good education. However, in 1987, the young man was kicked out of Montclair State University for bad grades. His mother threw Noble out of the house when she found out that he was selling drugs to make a living. Thankfully, the young man soon met Erick Sermon, who helped route his energy into music. Noble started writing rap.
In the early 1990’s, Red got his first professional music experience with the band EPMD. They released two singles "Hardcore" and "Brothers on My Jock". After that, Redman decided to pursue a solo career and presented his debut album 1992. He called it Whut? Thee Album. The LP debuted on the 49th spot of Billboard 200. The critics paid tribute to such songs as "Time 4 Sum Aksion", "Watch Yo Nuggets", "Blow Your Mind", and "Tonight's Da Night".
In 1992, the rapper released another studio album, Dare Iz a Darkside. It sold more than half a million copies. The LP reached the 13th spot of Billboard 200.
Muddy Waters was the musician’s third studio album, which he released in 1996. It climbed to the 12th spot of Billboard 200 and topped R&B Albums Chart. The single “Whateva Man”, recorded with Erick Sermon, became a hit.
