Rap icon and Grammy Award-nominated heavyweight Redman is approaching the eve of what is sure to be one of the most classic Verzuz shows (vs Method Man) to date, and to celebrate these times, the lyricist, who continues his partnership with RIV MUSIC, dropped a brand new track, “80 Barz.” To take things a giant step further, Redman also announced a summer release of his highly anticipated studio album Muddy Waters 2.
“Collaborating with RIV MUSIC doesn’t feel like a partnership. It’s definitely a family at this point. I can appreciate that they understand hip hop, the authenticity of it, quality control, and most importantly that they are fans of it. They know their stuff and it felt right jumping back with not just this track that I’ve briefly been sitting on, but Muddy Waters 2 as well.” – Redman
“80 Barz” highlights the rapper’s unique style and edgy sound reminding us why he has always been a fan favorite. Referencing to his deep roots in the industry while connecting to today’s trends, the track showcases the hip hop legend’s undeniable talent. The first highly praised Muddy Waters album released in 1996 and debuted at an impressive #12 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the US Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. The certified Gold project gave fans hit singles “Whateva Man,” “It’s Like That (My Big Brother),” and “Do What You Feel” which appeared on the soundtrack for the infamous Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories video game.
