Album Notes
Personnel: Redman, Erick Sermon, K-Solo, Jamal, Keith Murray, Method Man, Rockwilder, Napalm, Chris Tricarico (rap vocals); Naja (spoken vocals).
Producers includes: Reggie "Redman" Noble, Erick Sermon, Rockwilder.
Engineers: Troy Hightower, Dave Greenberg.
For his third album, Redman returns to the funk-inspired music that made his debut a classic. Produced by Def Squad leader Erick Sermon, Rockwilder and the Funk Docta Spot himself, MUDDY WATERS is a beat-driven album, with both smooth, bass-heavy samples and original hard-core tracks. Not much has changed about Redman's delivery, which is still rough and rugged with mouthfuls of lyrics. The album is blessed with the wordsmith tactics of not only Redman, but fellow Def Squad members Keith Murray, Erick Sermon and K-Solo. Redman proves here that he is approaching veteran status with flair and style.
Industry Reviews
8 out of 10 - ...raggedy, head-top rhyming. The Screamin' Jay Hawkins of hip hop.
Muzik (02/01/1997)
3 Stars (out of 5) - ...Packed with blunted melodies, spattered with skits, MUDDY WATERS is impressively self-possessed....Redman remains unshakable, hardcore to the bone.
Q (04/01/1997)
...ranks as one of the most consistent MCs in rap....Erick Sermon's beats are stripped down but tight--designed both to make you move and to give Redman plenty of room to let loose his nasty tongue....choppy, offbeat verses and memorable call-and-response choruses...
Rolling Stone (02/06/1997)
...MUDDY WATERS slides in and finds Redman crashing back to Earth--equally intense, funny....The best moments on MUDDY WATERS come on the songs Redman produced himself....boundless energy and raging fire.
Vibe (02/01/1997)
...expect to excavate the usual Funkadelic relic remains, namely hard hittin' funk tracks frequently anchored by hooks utilizing snippets of other Hip-Hop tunes....MUDDY WATERS greatest strength is in its flow...
Rap Pages (02/01/1997)
4 Mics - Slammin' - Def Squad lion Redman has no problem blazing up the path between mainstream and the underground....The sonic approach creates a dance-floor friendly vibe which seems perfectly appropriate for the Funk Dr. Spock's return to dry land...
