Gaming, Cannabis, and Music: Redman Hosts Free The Green

What happens when you mix competitive gaming, hip-hop, and cannabis culture? You get Free The Green, an epic event hosted by the legendary Redman and the United Empowerment Party (UEP) at OS NYC on January 30, 2025. Whether you’re a gamer, cannabis connoisseur, or just someone who loves a good time, this is a night you don’t want to miss.

According to Black Cannabis Magazine, this event combines everything from high-stakes Tekken 8 battles and live music to cannabis education and community empowerment.

Tekken 8 Takes Center Stage

Gamers, it’s your time to shine. Free The Green is bringing the heat with a high-energy Tekken 8 tournament. Whether you’re competing or cheering from the sidelines, expect action, intensity, and a vibe you can’t find anywhere else. Redman, who’s known for his larger-than-life energy, will be doing live commentary throughout the tournament.

Cannabis and Culture Meet Like Never Before

Let’s be real—this isn’t your typical gaming event. Cannabis culture takes the spotlight with interactive brand activations, giveaways, and education. Redman and the UEP are using this platform to not only entertain but to destigmatize cannabis and educate the community on its benefits.

Music That Moves You

If gaming and cannabis weren’t enough, Free The Green has the ultimate soundtrack for the night. DJ Lord Sear, a music legend and Shade 45’s finest, will keep the vibe alive with tracks that hit just right. You’ll even hear songs from Redman’s highly-anticipated album, Muddy Waters Too.

Why Free The Green Matters

Free The Green is bigger than just a night of fun. The United Empowerment Party is dedicated to advocating for cannabis reform and supporting communities disproportionately affected by the War on Drugs. Proceeds from the event will fund initiatives that educate the public and create opportunities in the cannabis industry for those who need it most.
