Afroman un-official website

Afroman (born Joseph Edgar Foreman on July 28, 1974) is a rap artist from South Central, Los Angeles, California.

Foreman later moved to Palmdale, and then onto Hattiesburg, Mississippi. His best-known song is the 2001 hit "Because I Got High", which gained popularity through Napster, local radio play, a feature on Howard Stern's radio show, and the "stoner" movie Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (and accompanying soundtrack). His other most popular song, "Crazy Rap", which has also gained popularity through P2P clients, is often referred to as "Colt .45", because of a lyric that says "Colt .45 and 2 Zig Zags."

Afroman may now be a born again Christian. The lyrics of the songs on "Afroholic" begin with references to drugs and sex but then the last verse is usually about how Afroman has now found Jesus. In an interview for the program '50 Greatest One Hit Wonders' on British Channel 4 broadcast on 7th May 2006, he stated that he had given up alcohol, smoking and women for a while but had returned to them. He further stated that he was going to be the best alcoholic, smoking, woman-chasing Christian there was.

Afroman is also fond of referencing his independence from record labels and the "corporate world" and cites himself as an example of how an artist can take recording and distribution into his or her own hands.

Afroman is over-due to release 4 or 5 albums. He was slated to re-release Sell Your Dope and Because I Got High, on December 1, 2005. as well as releasing new albums, Fucc Tha Corporate World Memories and Party Time.
