Grand Champ

Description

DMX has rage. Always had rage. But on the fifth album of the star rapper from the Ruff Riders label, the rage takes over everything else. The music, the lyrics may be polished as they should be, what strikes upon listening to "Grand Champ" is the incredible ferocity that The Darkman X develops. Literally screaming on almost all the tracks of this new opus (with the exception of a few potential hits including a duet with the sweet Monica and another – unlikely – with the queen of soul Patti Labelle), apart from these escapades, DMX goes all out on the flow. Raspy voice, powerful screams… this album is here to remind a substratum: DMX "prefers animals to dogs." For the philosophy that goes with this phrase, refer to "Grand Champ".
