With the Fourth Of July being tomorrow, there are still four states in the U.S. that continue to ban fireworks. In an article in the New York Times, Redman speaks on having to leave Jersey to purchase his explosives.

“My father took me to buy fireworks, and now I’m doing it for my kids,” said Reggie Noble, who was filling his cart with fireworks at the Phantom Fireworks in Easton one day this week. Mr. Noble, 41, who is better known as the rap artist Redman, said it did not make much sense that he cannot buy fireworks in New Jersey, where he lives.“I can see the dangers they are trying to prevent, but it’s still happening,” he said. “I vote that they should lift it up.”
