About Afroman

Joseph Edgar Foreman (born July 28, 1974), known by his stage name Afroman, is an American rapper, singer, and musician. His fourth album, The Good Times (2001), featured the singles "Because I Got High" and "Crazy Rap". "Because I Got High" was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2002 for Best Rap Solo Performance. Foreman wrote a number of protest songs to memorialize a 2022 raid of his Ohio home by sheriff's officers that yielded no charges or criminal evidence. The songs were collected into his 18th studio album, Lemon Pound Cake. Several officers sued Foreman for incorporating unflattering security camera footage of the raid into the songs' music videos. Foreman prevailed in court, arguing his work was protected by freedom of speech laws; in an amicus brief, the ACLU characterized the suit as a strategic lawsuit against public participation. In 1998, Foreman released his first album, My Fro-losophy, which was described as a "flop". His major label debut, The Good Times (2001), featured the singles "Because I Got High" and "Crazy Rap".
