............ .......... .. ........Myspace Contact Tables................ .. .. ......LISTEN TO MORE TRACKS IN THE FLASH IPOD PLAYER!........ .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........Get your own Flash MP3 Player.... .. .......... .. ..Redhead is an emcee from northwest Washington DC, raised in Capitol Heights, Maryland. Born with a Carribean background from Jamaica & Grenada, he has been rhyming for a few years as a hobby until mid-2002 when he started to take hiphop more seriously due to an occurrence with an A&R from the now-defunct ..MCA Records... With his unique style, voice, and versatile flow, Redhead's main objective is to hold the audience's attention with an underground rap style with a little mainstream twist in the mix. He's appeared in many open mic spots in the DC area, particularly the "Euphoria" spot with his associates known as the group Hands High. He has appeared on ..BET.. on a .."Campus Invasion Tour".. segment, performed on a local television show in Prince Georges' County MD about emcees breaking into the industry, and has been on stage in front of ..Howard University..'s roughly 11,000+ student population at a show featuring acts such as ..Capone-N-Noreaga.. and ..Whyte Out from 106 & Park... He later graduated from the university with a Bachelors degree in Political Science and blessings from talk show host ..Oprah Winfrey... .. ..Redhead was also on a mixtape that featured ..50 Cent, Joe Budden, Freeway.., and ..Royce Da 5'9.. among others. He has also hooked up with R&B singer ..Mya.. on July 25th, 2003, on an interview made for The Washington Post Magazine. On August 29th, 2003, he competed on the Friday Night Mic Fight battles that were broadcasted on ..WPGC 95.5FM.., which was heard all over Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia. He's also battled on ..WKYS 93.9FM... Around the beginning of his sophomore year at college, he joined the DC regional Verbal Armageddon competition and was ranked in the ..top 10 best MCs out of 50+ competitors... This competition had underground artist ..ICON The Mic King.. as a past champion. Even though Redhead lost, he gained a big following on the campus and was respected as a true talent. He later returned to the competition in 2007 and ..became a finalist.. after undergoing several bizarre challenges such as freestyling about a light bulb, among other topics... ..At the age of 20, Redhead completed work on his first independently released EP, "It Is What It Is". One of its tracks, entitled "4 Da Broke & Sexy", was also featured on a mixtape called "The Next Big Thing" and was distributed in the area of Atlanta and Texas. ..Magnificent of Swisha House Entertainment.. calls Redhead "one of the flyest lyricists I've met, and he's going to be big one day, for sure!" On March 3rd, 2005, Redhead traveled to Baltimore, MD to open for ..Masta Ace (old school hip-hop member of the legendary Juice Crew; famous for appearing on .."The Symphony".. with Marley Marl).., ..Wordsworth (former host of MTV's ..Lyricist Lounge Show..).., and ..Freestyle (of the group The Arsonists).. to celebrate the release of the "Revolutions Of The Mind Mixtape Vol. 1: See No Evil", which was put together by Third I Revolutions... ..On January 13th, 2006, Redhead simultaneously released his first mixtape "Modern Nostalgia Vol. 1" ..to the streets of the DC Metropolitan area and parts of Canada... Distributed by independent label Criminal Records, the project featured tracks from himself, his fellow colleagues, and mainstream artists from all over. The mixtape incorporated the sound of old-school hiphop with the styles and personalities of the new generation of artists, and was critically acclaimed. On January 26th, 2007, Redhead made ..history.. from being ..the first unsigned American hiphop artist to get his record ..("I Like").. radio play in Australia.. during its national holiday. As of April 11th, 2007, Redhead played the role of Richard Hawkins (of the past) in the Internet episodes of the ..CBS series .."Jericho".... for 5 episodes. Currently, he has linked up with producer ..Versityle of Songbook Entertainment ..(Trey Songz's production company).... for an upcoming, yet untitled project... ..Look out for this emcee in the near future as he continues his road to success... ....Sex:.. Male ....Height:.. 6 FT 2 Inches ....Languages:.. English ....Ethnicity:.. Black / African American ....Weight:.. Slender ....Eyes:.. Brown ....My hair is:..

He respects the hip hop culture, and definitely adds something good to it... - Jani Cortesini.... ......Redhead has a distinctive voice and it could be this that breaks him as an emcee. It has an Eminem like quality to it, but not so much that it becomes annoying. I think that with the right exposure, Redhead could be big... - Chris Nicholls.... ......Good solid hip hop that is tight and well produced! Redhead, hailing from the great state of Maryland, shows a lot of depth in his music that is often missing these days in the genre. Though I hear elements of Nas and "Paul's Boutique" era Beastie Boys, he's got a sound that's all his own. I could listen to this stuff all day. His real specialty seems to be his smooth and rhythmic vocals. Bottom line: check this guy out, he's got hip hop that you need to hear if you call yourself a hip hop fan. And if you don't call yourself a hip hop fan, listen anyway, and then stop making excuses and become one. .. - Jonathan Sanders.... ......REVIEWS FOR "IT IS WHAT IT IS [EP]"...... ..Overall this album is fairly unique. Such a diverse style! Each track I notice the flow varies, and carries on a new vibe. There are so many styles touched, and the flow stays pretty song throughout the entire album. Redhead gives me the impression of the runt of the litter. Although his voice may turn some people off, if one were to focus and pay attention to the lyricism and the delivery, they would notice that Redhead still retains a unique talent. With the diversity and the lyricism in mind, as well as his catchy hooks, I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys a good rhyme structure and head nodding beats..... - Lord Ganjah of H1phop.com.. ......REVIEWS FOR "MODERN NOSTALGIA VOL. 1"...... ..Modern Nostalgia is the new era of Hip Hop, bridging the gap between mainstream's entertainment level and undergrounds realness. Redhead brings you that feeling of real music when the record spins. From beginning to end, this CD puts you in that mood of relaxation. M.N is a mix of real and entertaining sounds, the flyest beats with the lyrics to match. Redhead's style is uncontested by any other on that level. Very unique and enjoyable to listen to. This kid is going places, watch out for him... - William a.k.a "LP" "Rebel Music Click".. ...... ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. ..My Comment Box.... .. .. .. .. ....Leave Redhead a comment here:....Instead of clicking on "Add Comment" link on the bottom, just use the box below to write me a comment.

Something you've heard before. The cyphers, the radio, the family barbecues, the school yard, and the barbershops. The vocal sounds of Pharcyde/younger Eminem, the wittiness & creativity of Nas/Kanye West, the flow versatility of Jay-Z, and the presentation and image of Redhead.
