Two days ago Hakim of Channel Live brought Redman to the Engine Room studio to record 8 bars for the upcoming KRS-One/Stop The Violence single 'Self-Construction'. I took some footage of the vocal session and asked Red a few questions.

Meth and Red freestyle over Smoothe Da Hustler & Trigger the Gambler’s Broken Language beat. They both kill it, but Red kills it a little extra.

One of my favorite rappers ever + one of my favorite producers ever = not that great of a song. Tired hook and I'd rather have had a little more Red than Pete on the mic. But hey, those horns still sound real good. Below a photo from the videoshoot. Off of NY’s Finest. Unkut reviews the album, and dug up the track above.

PHOTOS: SitDownStandUp.com's 2007 In Pictures

I brought my camera to a few really great Hip Hop concerts in 2007 including Clipse @ Columbia University, Rock The Bells featuring Cypress Hill, Wu-Tang Clan, Redman, The Roots and more, Boost Mobile Rock Corps @ Radio City Music Hall featuring Swizz Beatz, Just Blaze, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Hurricane Chris, Yung Joc, Keyshia Cole and more, EPMD, Nas, Jeru Da Damaja @ Roseland Ballroom and more.
