Red Gone Wild: Thee Album is the sixth studio album by rapper Redman.^[12] It was released on March 27, 2007 via his own label Gilla House Records in conjunction with Def Jam Recordings.

The album was delayed numerous times by Def Jam and Redman himself, with early promotion dating back to DMX's 2003 album, Grand Champ. As found in the booklet for Ghostface's The Pretty Toney Album, the album was slated to be relessed in the summer of 2004, but was delayed. Redman stated that he didn't want his album to get under promoted like recent Def Jam albums from Method Man, Ghostface, and The Roots, which explained the long delay for the release of Red Gone Wild. He also stated that he was waiting for the right time to drop it in hip hop's fast changing landscape.

The first single was "Put It Down" (produced by Timbaland) with additional vocals by DJ Kool.

The album leaked onto the Internet on March 22, 2007. Following its release, the album debuted at number 13 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 44,000 copies in its first week.^[13]

A music video was shot for "Da Countdown (The Saga Continues)", which was going to be the first single back in 2004.

Another music video, for "Fuck da Security/Rush da Security," can be found on the UK release as a bonus track.

Smack DVD shot a music video for "Gillahouse Check."

Official videos were made for "Put It Down" featuring a guest appearance by MTV personality Vincent "Don Vito" Margera, and "Get 'Em" featuring Gilla House artists Saukrates and Icadon.

Videos were produced for "Gimmie One" and "Freestyle Freestyle."
