A five-track solo demo resulted in a solo deal with Def Jam. Redman was at the forefront of a crop of young, brash, and hungry signees that included Onyx and Boss, bolstering a roster of mostly established acts such as Slick Rick, LL Cool J, EPMD, and Public Enemy. In September 1992, Whut? Thee Album made instant impact as one of the era's most powerful rap debuts -- a mischievous, hard-hitting, set produced primarily by Redman and Erick Sermon. First two singles "Blow Your Mind" and "Time 4 Some Aksion" both topped Billboard's rap chart (the latter unseated Onyx's "Throw Ya Gunz") and pushed the album, marketed heavily to the streets and college campuses, to gold status within nine months. Meanwhile, Redman was highly sought for guest verses, production, and turntable work, assisting EPMD ("Head Banger"), Boss, Jodeci, and MC Eiht, as well as fellow Def Squad members Sermon and Keith Murray, among others. Red returned in November 1994 with the descriptively-titled Dare Iz a Darkside, what began a streak of four number one rap albums -- all of which also placed no lower than 13 on the Billboard 200. Assisted by Sermon and Rockwilder, Redman handled most of the sludgy production on his own, and a couple major singles in "Rockafella" and "Can't Wait," respective number ten and 11 hits on the rap chart, boosted album sales. Between those two singles, Red also hit number 12 with "Funkorama," taken from Sermon's Insomnia compilation.

Redman crowned the rap album chart four more times in the '90s. Muddy Waters, issued in December 1996, was leaner and sharper edged compared to Dare Iz a Darkside. It spawned "It's Like That (My Big Brother)," a number 11 rap hit featuring Hit Squad partner K-Solo, and "Whatever Man," an Erick Sermon-assisted track that peaked at number three on the rap chart and narrowly missed the pop Top 40. The more colorful and buoyant Doc's da Name 2000, highlighted by "I'll Bee Dat!" and the Busta Rhymes collaboration "Da Goodness," landed in November 1998 and within four months went platinum. The latter became Redman's fourth Top Ten rap hit as a headliner. Earlier the same year, Def Squad issued their lone album, El Niño, and almost topped the Billboard 200 with it. Red led the charge on album standout "Check N' Me Out" and traded verses with Biz Markie on "Rhymin' wit' Biz." Three months before the end of the decade, Redman and Method Man unloaded their first LP as a duo, the number three Billboard 200 entry Blackout!, full-length proof of the rappers' natural chemistry. In addition to "How High," a number two rap single originally recorded for the soundtrack of The Show, Blackout! contained the number 14 rap single "Da Rockwilder." Both songs also factored into How High, the 2001 stoner comedy in which Method Man and Redman co-starred.

In addition to his first major big-screen role as an actor, Redman further raised his profile in the early 2000s with featured appearances on two Grammy-nominated recordings: De La Soul's "Oooh." (for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group) and Christina Aguilera's "Dirty" (for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals). Between the two singles in May 2001, Redman released his fifth album, Malpractice, which entered the Billboard 200 at number four -- his highest position on the chart. The album's "Let's Get Dirty (I Can't Get in da Club)," with DJ Kool as hype man, returned him to the rap Top Ten, and other tracks boasted guest spots from the likes of George Clinton, Scarface, and Treach. Six years passed before his next album, but Redman was busy during the interim with a handful of mixtapes on his new Gilla House label, roles in films like Scary Movie 3 and Seed of Chucky, player character roles in several Def Jam-related video games, plus the sitcom Method & Red, among many other television appearances. In March 2007, Redman finally issued Red Gone Wild: Thee Album. Despite arriving at least three years after its originally scheduled date, Red Gone Wild went straight to number 13 on the Billboard 200 (number four on the R&B/hip-hop chart). Timbaland produced the rowdy highlight "Put It Down," and other notable productions were supplied by Pete Rock, Scott Storch, and longtime associates Erick Sermon and Rockwilder. Blackout! 2 appeared near the end of the decade and found Redman and Method Man picking up where they had left off with their first album as a duo. The sequel entered the Billboard 200 at number seven and the R&B/hip-chart in the second position.

Thank You Tommy Lister "Debo"!

Watch Tommy Lister "Debo" Shout Out TNB Naturals!

Lister was mostly recognized as the antagonist known as Deebo from 1995's Friday. Deebo was the neighborhood's dog-eat-dog thug and bruiser to every character, including Ice Cube's main character Craig Jones. He reprised the role in the film's sequel, Next Friday (2000), but did not appear in the third film of the series, Friday After Next (2002). He did, however, appear in Cube's directorial debut The Players Club. He played the role of Obodo in Mario Van Peebles' Posse (1993), along with Tone Loc.

Lister had numerous guest appearances on TV series, including playing Klaang, the first Klingon to make contact with humans, in the pilot episode of Star Trek: Enterprise. He co-starred in a two-part episode of the courtroom series Matlock as Mr. Matlock's in-prison bodyguard. He appeared in season 7 episode 9 of In the Heat of the Night, and in season 1 episode 15 of ER. He also starred in the sitcom 1st & Ten as Otis.

Lister's film roles included playing in The Dark Knight and Austin Powers in Goldmember. Lister was featured in The Fifth Element as the Galactic President. He appeared in the Adam Sandler film Little Nicky as Nicky's older brother Cassius.

Lister was the main police officer in Chamillionaire's "Ridin'" video and reprised his role as a police officer in Chamillionaire's 2012 single "Show Love". He has appeared in the Ice Cube videos for "Friday" (from the Friday soundtrack) and "You Can Do It" (from the Next Friday soundtrack). Lister appeared via both original footage and clips from the film. He was in the videos for Young Bleed's "How You Do Dat", French Montana's "I Told 'Em" and 50 Cent's "Many Men (Wish Death)". Lister portrayed Sancho in the Sublime music video "Santeria".

In the Quentin Tarantino film Jackie Brown,^[ he played bail agent Winston, who "finds people who don't want to be found". In 2015, Lister filmed Busy Day in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Lister had a supporting role in the 2016 Disney animated movie Zootopia as the voice of the diminutive fennec fox, Finnick. He appeared in a commercial that year for Ball Park-brand beef jerky, advertised as "tough, but tender."

In the 40 years of his acting career, Lister accumulated more than 200 acting credits.

Cast as an habitual 'bad guy' in films, his career prospered. He was a frequent collaborator with Ice Cube. Lister later became the spokesperson for Monster Energy Drink in the 2010s.

Lister appeared in the 1989 wrestling movie No Holds Barred, which was financed by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and starred Hulk Hogan. Lister's role was Zeus, a brutal monster heel. No Holds Barred inspired a feud in the WWF during the latter half of 1989. Lister was billed as "Zeus: The Human Wrecking Machine", and used the same "monster heel" gimmick in his matches by no-selling his opponent's moves. He would yell, "Aw! Aw!" and pound on his chest several times during his interviews and in the ring. Zeus would eventually demand Hogan to face him in the ring.

Citing jealousy for being billed under Hogan and anger over losing to Hogan in the film, Zeus wanted to beat him in "real life". Zeus formed an alliance with fellow Hogan rival "Macho Man" Randy Savage to feud with Hogan and his friend, Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. The two teams faced off at the 1989 SummerSlam event in a tag team match which saw Hogan and Beefcake prevail as the victors, with Hogan pinning Zeus. Following SummerSlam, Zeus formed an alliance with "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase leading into that year's Survivor Series.

At the event, the team of The Hulkamaniacs (Hulk Hogan, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, and Demolition) faced The Million Dollar Team (Ted DiBiase, Zeus, and The Powers of Pain). Zeus was eliminated from the match via disqualification after refusing to break a chokehold on Hogan and shoving the referee away. The Hulkamaniacs went on to win the match, defeating the other team. After the Survivor Series, the feud between Hulk Hogan and Brutus Beefcake versus Randy Savage and Zeus ended with a steel cage match on December 27, 1989, at the No Holds Barred pay-per-view event. Hogan and Beefcake were once again victorious in what would be Zeus's last match in the WWF. Lister's final WWF appearance was a promotional spot for the 1990 Royal Rumble.

Thank You Island Boys!

Watch The Island Boys Shout Out TNB Naturals!

Alex and Franky Venegas (born July 16, 2001), known as Flyysoulja and Kodiyakredd respectively, and collectively as the Island Boys, are two American twin brothers who became popular on the video sharing platform TikTok in 2021. The brothers are based in Coral Springs, Florida. They went viral with their song "I'm an Island Boy".

While in jail as teenagers, the brothers decided to pursue a rap career. In October 2021, a video of the duo performing a song went viral on Twitter. The pair's distinctive appearance, including tattoos, diamond teeth, and vertical dreadlocks helped turn their video into a meme that gained traction on TikTok. They subsequently turned down a record deal with Kodak Black. The original video garnered 9 million views before it was deleted.

That November, the duo released a fully produced version of their viral song, "I'm an Island Boy", backed by a music video. The twins promoted the release with a poorly received performance at Club LIV in Miami.In  May 2022, it was announced that the Island Boys were invited to participate in the reality show Ultimate Social Boxing. That December, the documentary Trolled: The Untold Island Boys Story, detailing the professional and personal lives of the twins, was released.

The Island Boys are twin brothers. Their given names are Alex and Franky Venegas. They were born on July 16, 2001, and are of Cuban ancestry. In a podcast interview, the twins explained that their father died when they were young and they were raised by their single mother. Growing up, the twins were often in trouble with the law and committed crimes including robbery and burglary, automobile theft, and possessing narcotics. Their mother kicked them out at the age of 18 due to poor behavior. Alex has a daughter.

Thank You Urban Remo!

Watch Remo Shout Out TNB Naturals!

Urban Remo is a grower and a medical cannabis patient, based in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada. Back in 2001, he became one of the first people in Canada to be allowed to grow cannabis at home and carry it on himself legally, for medicinal purposes.

At that time, he began teaching people to grow safely and legally, and started producing videos on YouTube in 2006, and has been producing cannabis content online ever since then (www.youtube.com/urbanremo).

Before it became legal to grow cannabis in Canada, growers would operate in the shadows of the law and risk facing criminal penalties for their activities. In 2001, Canada created the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR) program, the first national framework that provided medical patients with the legal right to grow, possess and consume cannabis. The program kickstarted the medical cannabis industry in Canada and laid the groundwork for growers, patients, compassion clubs, and dispensaries.

One of the pioneers of that movement was Remo Colasanti AKA Urban Remo, who was involved in the early days of MMAR. A car accident and broken back led to Remo’s search for alternative medicine, which eventually led him to cannabis. After being granted a medical license to cultivate and use his own medication, Remo began growing and soon after started teaching other patients how to grow their own medicine.

In 2010, Remo decided to take his passion for cannabis cultivation to a more public level. YouTube was the medium of choice, and it wasn’t long before the Urban Remo channel became the defacto source of information for growing cannabis at home. Hundreds of thousands of subscribers and millions of video views later, Urban Remo remains the number one source for at-home cannabis cultivation.

In 2014, Remo launched Remo Nutrients, a line of premium vegan fertilizers specifically designed for cannabis growing. Simple and easy-to-use, the Remo Nutrients line has helped beginner and professional growers alike achieve maximum yields with their plants. Today, Remo Nutrients is available in over 30 countries and has won 34 awards worldwide for its innovative products and high-quality results.

The story of Urban Remo isn’t just about cannabis cultivation and nutrients, however. It’s about a man who has dedicated his life to helping others access the natural healing powers of cannabis, while also working to break down the stigma and misperceptions that have long been associated with the plant. He continues to be a tireless advocate for the power of cannabis and the positive impact that it can have on people’s lives.

Ross Rebagliati

Ross Rebagliati (born July 14, 1971) is a Canadian snowboarder who won a gold medal in the men's giant slalom event at the 1998 Winter Olympics. The International Olympic Committee initially stripped him of the medal due to a failed drug test for cannabis use, but was overruled by an appeals court two days later, resulting in the medal being restored. Since retiring from snowboarding, Rebagliati has become an entrepreneur in the cannabis industry. 

Snowboarding was first introduced to the Olympics at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Rebagliati became the first gold medalist in the men's giant slalom event; however, a drug test sample that he submitted showed 17.8 ng/mL of THC metabolites in his urine, slightly higher than the 15 ng/mL threshold used by the International Ski Federation.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive board voted 3–2 to disqualify him from competition on February 11, 1998, which the Canadian Olympic Association immediately appealed. Rebagliati admitted to having previously used cannabis as recently as April 1997, but said the failed test was due to secondhand exposure. On February 13 an appeals court ruled in Rebagliati's favor, restoring the medal. Cannabis had not been officially banned by the IOC and therefore it had no authority to strip the medal, the court ruled.
