DJ Ready Red: FIFTH WARD

This East Coast transplant found himself working as DJ/producer with Rap-A-Lot Records upon his arrival in Houston in 1987 and became a member of the original Ghetto Boys, helping craft their early sound (which is why the early Ghetto Boys sounded like they were from the East Coast). Red began his tenure with the group after their debut 12-inch “Car Freak” and stayed up until their 1991 platinum album We Can’t Be Stopped, on which his is the first voice you hear in “Rebel Rap Family.” Ready Red also did production on Willie D’s classic 1989 album Controversy.
