Recently, Take It Personal Radio hosts DJ 360 and Philaflava took some time to speak with Newark’s own Reggie Noble for an in-depth interview. Throughout, Redman discusses his early desires to become a DJ, the making of his albums, Dare Iz a Darkside and Muddy Waters, his work with Def Squad, his current relationship with Erick Sermon, and much more. Another prominent piece from the interview includes Redman’s relationship with Method Man, a union between two East Coast rappers that would cement their place in history as one of Hip-Hop’s most formidable Rap groups

Lyor will tell you, ‘Redman saved Def Jam.'”
