"Solid MC with great mic control"
8 out of 10 across the board - Taxi-2007
This Chicago native isn't a cookie-cutter rapper strictly appealing to
the tried-and-tested East Coast demographic. He's consistent and
definitely no where near the boundaries of commercial rap or hip-hop.
The Redd is miles ahead of other rap acts and proves so by the innovative element of attention-hungry guitars heard through-out and
on favorites like "Beef" and "Love A Thug." He easily
diversifies hisstyle and proves so by his transition between soulful laced vibes to bump in yo' trunk cuts as well as more serious songs dealing with real
life issues. Among the favorites to the 17-track album is the self-indulgent banger for the clubs "Stamina" and the appropriately titled track, "Booty Clap." The dialogue, the rhythmic guitar and
background vocals in"Destiny" -demonstrates the rawness and reality
behind his tracks. The original production leads you to feel this
emotion as well as with Redd's unique flow. The Redd's new CD Only
Out for Destiny will leave you loving the rhymes, chorus and
production and wanting more. - Julia Anita
