A charismatic emcee with an uncanny knack for hilarious punchlines, Reggie Noble aka Redman has been delivering raw East Coast hip-hop since the early '90s. Redman will be previewing material from his next Def Jam album, "Red Gone Wild," due in March; the as-yet-untitled first single will be produced by Timbaland. It's the follow-up to 2001's "Malpractice," which debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200. Redman and Murray are also expected to perform material by Def Squad, their side project with rapper Erick Sermon.

Raekwon may not have achieved the solo stardom of his fellow Wu-Tang Clan mates Method Man, Ol' Dirty Bastard or RZA but along with Genius/GZA and frequent partner Ghostface Killah, he's done some of the most critically acclaimed work outside the confines of the group. His 1995 album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is widely considered to be one of the best Wu-Tang solo albums, and one of the finest and most influential hip hop albums of the 1990s.
