As a genre-crossing pioneer of Reggae and Hip-Hop, South Florida’s DJ GQ has held the “official DJ” title for such big names as Akon, Mr. Cheeks and Kevin Little. Most recently, though, GQ has been on the grind with his Let ‘Em Know mixtape series (20 volumes in all) that follows in the footsteps of both Khaled and Drama. On the first single, Bad Boys, off his forthcoming full-length album, also titled Let ‘Em Know, GQ uses a unique combination of artists, enlisting DMX, along with reggae’s Junior Reid and Dawg E. Slaughter, to bring a special mixture of grit and island flair. Along with solid production from Blackout Movement (This Is Why I’m Hot), this well-done appetizer should tide you over until GQ’s main course is served sometime later this year.

Pretty good revival for him, but I feel I've outgrown his music.

The Chef is back! It's great to hear DMX spit with the same amount of passion and attitude he had in his prime with all the issues surrounding his personal life. The melody is very similar to "This Is Why I'm Hot," but Blackout throws in a lot of new sounds like the synthesizer and violins. Junior Reid was great on the "This Is Why I'm Hot" remix and he sounds great on hear as well. Which musical combination is better, reggae-rap or jazz-rap? DJ GQ has 20 volumes?! That's impressive.

Beat is great!!! TONE+Chef noticed something really hypnotizing about it which are the violins! Damn!!! That was a good and deserves a careful listen (I didn’t pay much attention at first)! I liked DMX’s flow; it matched the beat’s mood which is quite tense! Junior Reid was perfect for this!

This is FIIIIRE! I can't wait for the new DMX albums to come out in 2008...yes, it is 2 albums coming from him this year from his new record deal! I think he is finally back (well, I hope so). But this is definitely OLD DMX right here! He rips it and Junior Reid always delivers without much effort. Great Track! Classic to me!

As is evident from the above comments, DMX "is back." So the question is... Can DMX make a comeback album worth your hard earned money? Leave your thoughts.

DMX is an absoulute beast,everything that he spits i believe, he is the real deal. JA rule is good too, but ive yet to see the day he EVER comes out with something to touch DMX's creativty. The great depression, FLesh of my flesh, blood of my blood albums, still top most artist in my opinion.

LL Cool Chris: Your opinion no longer counts...did you seriously just compare DMX to Ja Rule!? I know you aren't saying he's better than X, but they have two COMPLETELY different styles.

Oh yeah... classic Dark Man. I'd definitely cop the comeback album - just out of loyalty to "It's Dark..." Plus I'd cop it out of curiousity - who else signed on to work with him? Will he go back to the original flow, or incorporate his (latest) personal issues into his lyrics (a la Lauryn Hill Unplugged)? What does he have to say about the current state of hip-hop? Inquiring minds wanna know...but I'm still bumping this cut 'til I find out.

Just to follow up on what DJ Blaze mentioned, DMX is dropping two albums on the same day this year! And guess what...one of them is a GOSPEL album! PRAISE THE LORD.
