 has completed two videos for the new album including "Just Like Me" and "Machine Gun." The video for "Just Like Me" was directed by Shawn Papazian and produced by Mike DeLorenzo and Romeo Antonio. "Just Like Me" tells the story of DMC's adoption with stark visuals and will be featured in "VH1 Rock Docs." Sarah McLachlan makes a special guest appearance in the video and also provides backing vocals.

"Machine Gun" was directed by Ondi Timoner, winner of the grand jury documentary prize at the Sundance Film Festival for her documentary "Dig." "Machine Gun" addresses the issue of war and paints a realistic picture of the current conflict in Iraq. The powerful new video features a breakout performance by backing vocalist Gary Dourdan of the CBS' hit series "CSI CSI Crime Scene Investigator

"I wanted to make an album that speaks to issues that are deeply personal and universal at the same time. The last five years of my life have been an emotional storm of change," said DMC.

 of war continue to destroy so many lives, this album is not something I wanted to do - its something I had to do. With the support of my brothers at RomenMpire Records and Prime Multimedia I have a chance to emerge from Run-DMC as DMC, in a solo career to say what I have to say with the words and music of this album."

The title of the album, Checks Thugs and Rock 'n Roll, eviscerates the lifestyle-driven mentality that has come to dominate the rap world at the expense of authenticity. Musically rich, the album features a virtual who's who of artists from various musical genres. They include Sarah McLachlan, Kid Rock, Elliot Easton (The Cars), Joey Kramer and Tom Hamilton (Aerosmith), Run, Josh Todd (Buckcherry), Doug E. Fresh, Gary Dourdan ("CSI"), Fieldy (Korn), DJ Lethal, Ms. Jade, Sonny Black, Napoleon (Outlawz) and Romeo Antonio. Other songs featured on the recording include "Watchtower," "Freaky freak·y
