Despite the success of his first 3 albums with Whut? Thee Album, Dare Iz A Darkside, & Muddy Waters reaching Gold (Selling 500,000 units). Redman had yet to have an album that has gone platinum (Selling 1,000,000 units), but despite that he’s a superstar in the hood, and gets love in the streets.

Ironically Doc’s Da Name 2000 (The album this song is on) would end up being his highest selling album, going platinum within 2 months.

Resurrect through the birth of my son, and live again
