On this present day in 1992, New Jersey native Reggie “Redman” Noble launched his debut solo album What? your album on the Def Jam imprint.
Primarily produced by the legendary Erick Sermon of EPMD, What? The world was launched to Redman, the most recent member of supergroup The Hit Squad. Followers needed extra from the Newark native’s “Hardcore” on EPMD’s Enterprise By no means Private album, which gave Erick and Parrish followers their first style of Redman. Turned the default Redman fan.
Tracks that fueled the album’s success embrace singles just like the visible accompaniment “Time 4 Sum Aksion,” “Tonight’s TDa Evening,” the grass-turning anthem “How To Roll A Blunt” and the start of the ever-evolving legend, “Sooper Man’s Lover.” The four-and-a-half-mic album was licensed gold by the RIAA in lower than a 12 months and formally licensed by the Streets upon its launch.
Hats off to Redman and Erick Sermon for making Funk Physician Spock’s first undertaking an authorized hip-hop traditional!
