Rap icon Red­man is set to make a rare and hugely anti­cip­ated return to the UK for a four date tour ‘Muddy Waters Too’ this sum­mer. The tour will kick off at O2 Academy Glas­gow on 12th August, O2 Ritz Manchester on 13th August, O2 Academy Bris­tol on 14th August and South Facing Fest­iv­al, Crys­tal Palace Bowl on 15th August, where Red­man will co-head­line along­side Busta Rhymes, Big Daddy Kane, Chali 2na & Shortee Blitz, with tick­ets on sale now via Ticketmaster.

Red­man is an award-win­ning hugely acclaimed rap legend, who is regarded as one of the most dynam­ic, cre­at­ive, and flat-out enter­tain­ing MCs of his era. He has not played live in the UK for over a dec­ade, so these dates will be unmiss­able with the rap god set to wow his Brit­ish fans.

Newark, New Jer­sey vet­er­an Red­man, born Reg­gie Noble, is a rap­per, DJ, pro­du­cer and act­or, who recently returned to releas­ing music after a dec­ade long hiatus, to drop his 9th full-length stu­dio album ‘Muddy Waters Too’, released last Christ­mas.  ‘Muddy Waters Too’ is the sequel to his clas­sic 1996 album, which was a staple of 90s hip hop. The new album has been crit­ic­ally acclaimed as a lengthy, fea­ture-rich pro­ject that deliv­ers a dose of Red­man’s sig­na­ture style, a nos­tal­gic listen laden with sharp lyr­i­cism and the return of the much-loved Reg­gie Noble humour, famil­i­ar char­ac­ters and skits.

Red­man was an ori­gin­al mem­ber of EPMD’s Hit Squad, which later became Def Squad, with mem­bers Erick Ser­mon, Keith Mur­ray, Hur­ricane G and Jamal. Red­man signed to Def Jam Record­ings and saw huge suc­cess dur­ing the 90s & 2000s as a solo artist, with his first three albums ‘Whut¿: Thee Album’ (1992), ‘Dare iz a Dark­side’ (1994) and ‘Muddy Waters’ (1996) cement­ing his icon status. Red­man later formed a duo with Meth­od Man of the Wu Tang Clan, with their debut col­lab­or­at­ive album ‘Black­out’ released in 1999 and the sequel ‘Black­out 2’ released in 2009. Red­man went on to release fourth and fifth plat­in­um albums ‘Doc’s Da Name 2000’ (1998) and ‘Mal­prac­tice’ (2001). There have been vari­ous mix­tapes, movies like ‘How High’ with Meth­od Man, col­lab­or­a­tions with Tupac, Mary J Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pink and The Off­spring and numer­ous TV appear­ances, along­side the release of sixth, sev­enth and eighth albums ‘Red Gone Wild: Thee Album’ (2007), ‘Reg­gie’ (2010) and ‘Mud­face’ (2015).
