Checks Thugs & Rock N Roll
Four years in the making, Checks Thugs and Rock 'n Roll features a virtual who's who of artists from various musical genres. They include Sarah McLachlan, Run, Kid Rock, Doug E. Fresh, Elliot Easton, Josh Todd, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer, Gary Dourdan, DJ Lethal, Ms. Jade, Sonny Black and Napoleon. The music of Checks Thugs and Rock 'n Roll is sure to introduce DMC the solo artist, to a younger audience that challenges those in his own generation to re-embrace hip-hop. Musically rich, the title of the album eviscerates the lifestyle-driven mentality that has come to dominate the rap world at the expense of authenticity.
