Dare Iz A Darkside is the second album by rapper Redman released in 1994. It is almost completely produced by Redman (credited as Reggie Noble) and Erick Sermon giving it a highly funky sound. It is a critical and commercial success, but it is not nearly as popular as its predecessor Whut? Thee Album. Two singles, "Rockafella" and the slightly more successful "Can't Wait", were released to promote this album. The cover art itself parodies Funkadelic's album Maggot Brain
