Hip-hop legend Redman has gifted fans a monumental Christmas Eve release with Muddy Waters Too, a sprawling 32-track album that not only pays homage to his iconic 1996 Muddy Waters but pushes the boundaries of the genre with an all-star lineup and powerhouse production. Dropped on December 24, 2024, the album showcases the lyrical prowess and creative ingenuity that have defined Redman’s decades-long career.
A Star-Studded Affair
Redman enlists a jaw-dropping array of collaborators on this project, bridging generational and stylistic divides. The guest list reads like a hip-hop hall of fame, featuring the likes of Method Man, Snoop Dogg, KRS-One, Naughty By Nature, Queen Latifah, Rah Digga, and Faith Evans. Redman also spotlights newer voices, including Oran Juice Jones II and Ke Turner, alongside comedic star Affion Crockett, adding a dynamic edge to the project, after all he is the skit-king of hiphop.
From gritty bars with Sheek Louch to soulful harmonies with Melanie Rutherford, Muddy Waters Too is a melting pot of artistry that captures the essence of hip-hop’s collaborative spirit. Shaquille O’Neal even makes a surprising return to the mic, adding his larger-than-life energy to the mix.
A Sonic Masterpiece
The production lineup is equally legendary, combining the timeless beats of Erick Sermon and Rockwilder with fresh sounds from Theory Hazit, Tall Black Guy, and Seige Monstacity. Redman himself steps behind the boards, adding his signature touch to the album’s sound. Tracks like “Funky Descendant” and “Reggie’s Boombox Blues” exhibit a perfect blend of classic East Coast grit and modern innovation.
Producers like Vinyl Frontier and King Benny bring crate-digging finesse, while Hallway Productions’ Teak delivers polished, cinematic beats. From bass-heavy bangers by Rick Rock to the soulful grooves of Chris Pinset and Mike & Keys, the album’s soundscape is as expansive as its tracklist.
