Biography
After emerging with the “Seen it All”/“Everything is Real” 12-inch single, Remedy appeared on the 1997 Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm compilation with his track "Never Again", a song about the Holocaust. This track remains his best-known work as well as his most highly regarded, and appeared on both his debut album, The Genuine Article, from 2001, and its follow-up, Code Red, from 2003 (Remedy considers the track to be effectively his signature theme song). Code Red included a track about the 9/11 attacks, as well as “A Muslim and a Jew,” which featured Remedy and fellow Wu-Tang affiliate Cilvaringz, rhyming as representatives of their respective sides in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict (with Wu-Tang leader The RZA acting as mediator).
