Muddy Waters is the third album released by New Jersey rapper Redman. The album was highly praised, after receiving mixed reviews for his second album Dare Iz a Darkside. The album featured two Billboard Hot 100 singles, "Whateva Man" and "It's Like That (My Big Brother)". The album's cover, on which Redman appears covered in mud, as well as its title, is a nod to blues legend Muddy Waters, who also appears covered in mud on the cover of his 1969 album After The Rain.
The album was certified gold by the RIAA on February 12, 1997.
