Redrama

Redrama, or Lasse Mellberg, is a rap-artist and a producer. He is widely considered to be the best of the few Finnish MC's who express themselves in English, and in fact won the Finnish MC-championship in 2001, the same year his self-titled EP was released. After Red was signed to Virgin Records UK in 2003, his debut album "Everyday Soundtrack" hit the stores. Though the first single, "If You With That", gained a lot of airplay, it was the second track, "Hang It Up" (which was produced by The Merchants) that sky-rocketed Red both to the Official Finnish Charts and to all the major radio stations in Finland. The third single, "Knuckleheadz" also gained a lot of airplay but wasn't nearly as big as "Hang It Up". Redrama's second album "Street Music" was released in the end of 2005 and featured the summer-anthem "Street Music" and the hit single's B-side "Off Your Chest". Redrama has performed as a supporting act for artists such as D 12 and Gang Starr. Together with Paperboys and Madcon, Red forms the Alien Allies-collective.
