His most recent single which is the debut track from the album is currently in rotation here in the Uk, Love in this Club which was featured by Polow Tha Don.
More Trouble for DMX
Rapper DMX has been indicted on seven counts of animal cruelty after the remains of a dog were discovered at his home in Arizona last year. The rapper who was arrested previously in the same week for speeding in AZ tried to barricade himself in a bedroom when police came to arrest him for the mistreatment of animals.
A further search by authorities uncovered drugs and weapons which resulted in further charges for the troubled rapper.
Police have indicated that there may be evidence linking the Ruff Ryders front man to illegal dog fighting. Pitbull pups, found at the rappers house were taken away and placed in the care of female inmates at a local prison.

He is no new kid on the block when it comes to writing songs, having written two platinum selling albums for himself and songs for the likes of Beyonce, Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Rihanna, but the R&B hotshot is now using his pen for blogging.
As he gears up to release his third album Year of the Gentleman, Ne-Yo has set up a blog of the same title to interact with fans and give them exclusive news and footage of his performances while he is out on the road with Alicia Keys.
Here he will surrender a little more insight to those who are inquisitive into just what Ne-Yo actually likes and loathes. His album is expected to hit shelves on June 24th through Def Jam.
