Checks Thugs & Rock N Roll by Dmc

This is one of the best albums ever made, with one of America's finest. DMC has returned to the scene with a constructive, positive and thought provoking album for 2006.

This album boasts some top names from the likes of Sarah McLachan, Elliot Easton (from The New Cars) and Joey Kramer (Aerosmith) to Doug E Fresh, MS. Jade and Gary Douran (C.S.I) the list is endless with too many names to mention, even Rev. Run features on a track called 'Come2gether' an ode to the late Jam Master Jay. For his first solo album it's very impressive and knocks spots off other established rappers, with a solid mix of heavy beats and wild guitars thrashed with bold lyrics. Songs to listen out for include, 'Watchtower', 'Just Like Me' and 'Lovey Dovey'. My personal favorites list: 'Cold', 'Rockstar', and 'What's Wrong?'.
