Funkorama is a 1995 single by Redman. It was produced by Redman and co-produced by Erick Sermon for Sermon's Insomnia... compilation album. The song samples "Stick 'Em" by The Fat Boys and "Midnight" by A Tribe Called Quest (the line sampled was "Coming down the block, man, loud as f**k. You would swear Redman was inside the trunk"). The song featured a memorable black and white video featuring members from Redman's crew, Def Squad as well as other rappers, such as Treach from Naughty by Nature and Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. The B-Side to the single was "Up Jump The Boogie", by The Wixtons; a group discovered by Erick Sermon.
