"One more time, I gots to hit the streets off, make the streets talk Let 'em know it ain't a sweet walk This gone be The only joint made this year that'll knock 'til 2003 And y'all gone see That the hottest nigga out there, was, is, and will be me..." We Right Here is the first single by rapper DMX from his album, "The Great Depression". The song shows the use of Pro Tools ability to create voice masking and voice doubling, with the fact that DMX does his vocals on the microphone, and then does them over the top of his previous audio track, to create a hazed, mellow sound, much like that of someone rapping with a 40 a Day voice. The music video was shot in his birth city of Baltimore, Maryland (unlike previous videos shot in New York City), and contains cameo appearances from The LOX.
