Darrin 'Dee' Dean, the co-CEO of rap label Ruff Ryders, has been hit with various drugs and weapons charges, after police found one-and-a-half kilos of cocaine hidden in a secret compartment of his friend's car.

"I don't make music to make songs," says the record-breaking hip-hop icon DMX, "I make music to record my life." DMX, the legendary Ruff Ryder who's sold 20 million albums, is back in the saddle with his eagerly-awaited sixth solo outing, Year Of The Dog, Again, his first since 2003's Grand Champ, the album that made him the only artist in the history of the Billboard Top 200 to have his first five albums debut consecutively at #1.
