Remedy (rapper)

Remedy (born Ross Filler in 1972 in Staten Island, New York) is an emcee and hip-hop producer. He is known for being the first white rapper and the first Jewish rapper to be affiliated with the Wu-Tang Clan. He runs Code Red Entertainment, which also has Cappadonna on its roster.

He is currently in charge of the project.

Biography

After emerging with the “Seen it All”/“Everything is Real” 12-inch single, Remedy appeared on the 1997 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).
