There’ve been quite a few rappers from the early-´90s heyday that have plunged into hip-hop’s purgatory, and for various reasons. Keith Murray was banished from the Def Jam label after choking an employee. Chicago ganja-rap ensemble Crucial Conflict never sobered up from their marijuana anthem, “Hay.” And, one of our true favorites, Mister Russell Jones, a.k.a. Ol’ Dirty Bastard, departed to find that Big Baby Jesus in the sky. New Jersey-based rap man Redman, who’s been spitting goofball tongue twisters since way back in ´92, is one of those crazy cats who’s still holding tight. He brings the Red Gone Wild Tour to town this week. Akir and Kidz in the Hall share the bill.
