The duo have known each other for a long time before signing with Def Jam. While at Def Jam, they reunited in 1994 on tour and met again in 1995 in the recording studio of
West Coast hip hop legend
Tupac "2Pac" Shakur. They recorded "Got My Mind Made Up" for Shakur's multi-platinum album
All Eyez on Me (1996). After this they had friendly battles
freestyling with each other on
Yo! MTV Raps, which ultimately led to their collaborative debut single "
How High". In 1999, the two rappers appeared together on "Rap Phenomenon" from
The Notorious B.I.G. posthumous album
Born Again. On May 7, 2009, in promotion for their second studio album, Method Man & Redman released a mixtape titled
Lights Out, which was hosted by
DJ Green Lantern. In 2013, Method Man and Redman previewed a new track called "Lookin’ Fly Too" featuring Ehikmostz. In March 2025, during a podcast interview, Redman claimed that his "circle was very small", confirming that he and Method Man "don't hang out like [they] usually do" on a collaborative level, due to personal reasons. As this statement was made public, the future of the duo remains unknown. ==Discography==
