It’s been almost three years since Redman has released Mudface, but it doesn’t mean he hasn’t been working. We’ve heard him on Snoop Dogg’s Neva Left album, but anything before that has been more guest features. He’s alluded since 2010 that the sequel to his classic album Muddy Waters will be coming out. According to DX, there’s been interest between him and 9th Wonder to work together on the project, but nothing has been said since about it.

Then a week ago happened.

Redman dropped a video along with a free download of his newest release, called ‘I Love Hip Hop’. It hasn’t been said whether or not this drop is off the long-awaited album, but what’s being reported is that the album will be out sometime this year.
