Redman’s debut is definitely my favourite album from him, the energy it has is unreal to me and it really is crazy to think it came out in 1992. I’ve heard from loads of people who were around at the time that the anticipation for this album was huge, and when it dropped it didn’t disappoint at all and it got mad love and airplay from Hip Hop fans. Every time I listen to it it’s clear why that happened, it’s a mad album and to start with Time 4 Sum Aksion (I used those visuals for this video) really is crazy and sets the tone for the album unbelievably well. 

Personally I think this is definitely one of the albums that really paved the way for how hardcore East Coast Hip Hop would develop that sound which really came into it’s own in the next few years with albums like Black Moon’s ‘Enta Da Stage’, the Wu Tang Debut, the list is endless really, but to me you hear pieces of that throughout this album (and definitely also on albums like Showbiz and AG’s debut, Diamond D’s debut etc which came out at a similar time) which really stand out and clearly inspired other artists to take that even further. To me the track ‘I’m A Bad’ is a clear example of that, the style is so stripped down and raw but it always gets me gassed everytime I hear the album, the way Redman flows over the beat and his attitude makes it work too well, and I’ve always wanted to remix it because the beat is basically just drums so I knew it would be possible to layer another beat over it with the right groove. It took me a while to find the right beat for this one, lots of beats sounded nice over it in my head but when I tried layering them it just didn’t sound right, mainly because the drum grooves didn’t match the one on the original song. This beat I ended up using for the remix is a very old beat, and was actually a throwaway when I first made it: I never remixed anything over it and just uploaded it with some vocals from ‘The Wire’ layered over it at points. I was gassed that it fit this acapella, and it makes sense cause thinking back on it, I actually sampled the same Bob James song which is used on the beat for Redman’s song ‘Can’t Wait’, so it fit his style well. I also knew I had to switch it up and lower the pitch to really bring out the low end for this one, cause it wouldn’t be a hardcore hip hop vibe without that, and I’m really glad I did it for this one. My favourite line is definitely ‘my song still pumps when it’s not even mastered bitch’, and I wanted the drums and bass to come in super hard after that one, so I did a lot of layering to make sure that would be possible.

Hopefully people like this one, it’s pretty grimey and raw but I think it fits Redman’s style well and I’m definitely happy with how it turned out. Peace and thank you for listening!
