Redman joins Rock the Bells hip-hop fest at Blaisdell
Advertiser Staff
Redman has been added to the Honolulu stop of the multi-act hip-hop tour Rock the Bells.The Sept. 1 concert at Blaisdell Arena will also feature sets by Supernatural, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and headliners Wu-Tang Clan.
Redman had a well-received run of solo albums for the DefJam label in the '90s, blending rap with heavy funk influences and a knack for creatively witty narcissistic lyrics. He is perhaps best known for his partnerships with the Wu-Tang Clan's Method Man on projects successful — the top-selling 1999 collaborative CD "Blackout" — and not so successful — the short-lived 2003 Fox sitcom "Method & Red."
In 2002, Redman paired with Christina Aguilera for the title track from her sophomore CD "Dirrty."
