It has been over 7 years since Randy "Macho Man" Savage passed away unexpectedly from cardiovascular disease. However, Savage continues to be viewed as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time as he was a multi-time world champion for several companies and the recipient of several Hall Of Fame inductions.
In 2003, Savage released his one and only musical effort, a studio album titled Be A Man. Released by Big3 Records, Be A Man is a hip-hop album featuring Savage on lead vocals. It includes guest appearances from the likes of DJ Kool, Aja, and Prymary Colorz.

Randy Savage in no way hides his wrestling past within the tracks featured on Be A Man. The title track and its accompanying music video specifically call out Hulk Hogan, who Savage seems to be challenging to a one-on-one fight. The album-closer "Perfect Friend" is a tribute to the then-recently-departed "Mr Perfect" Curt Hennig.
Currently, aside from used and promotional copies available for re-sale, Be A Man is out of print in terms of physical product. However, Be A Man is available via Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming-oriented digital music services.
