3 Joints is a three-track extended play (EP) by American rapper Redman, released on January 10, 2020, through Riveting Music and Gilla House. [1] The EP serves as a precursor to his long-awaited album Muddy Waters Too , providing fans with a brief but energetic collection of tracks after a five-year gap since his previous project, Mudface (2015).
Following the release of Mudface, Redman took a hiatus from solo projects. In early 2020, he released 3 Joints without prior promotion. The EP's title refers to its structure: three full-length tracks intended to remind fans of his lyrical agility and trademark humor.
3 Joints received generally favorable reviews. HipHopDX described the EP as a "solid contact high," noting that while it didn’t reinvent Redman’s style, it effectively delivered the gritty, humorous tone fans expect. [2] In contrast, RapReviews called the EP a "tease," suggesting it may have been a way to capitalize on the success of the single "Slap Da Shit Outcha" without delivering a full-length album. [3]
