The new single is taken from his upcoming Muddy Waters Too album.
Redman is back. Fresh off the announcement for the upcoming album Muddy Waters Too, the rapper announced the release of new single Don’t Wanna C Me Rich, just hours before it was due to drop.
Full of wacky, stylistic tropes and crazy gestures, it’s safe to say the New Jersey rapper is priming his audience for a new hip-hop project.
In September, Newark’s pioneer of boom-bap recently pumped up the volume with a performance at the Red Bull BC One breakdancing event in Venice Beach.
This was followed up with a freestyle with long-time friends Method Man and Raekwon
