Prime Multimedia To Release First Two Singles in July

FALL RIVER, MA. (Prime Multimedia) - RomenMpire Records, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prime Multimedia Inc., is pleased to announce that it will be releasing the first two singles off of DMC's much anticipated solo album this month.

In July, DMC will release two singles ("Machine Gun" and "Watchtower") from his much-anticipated solo album Checks, Thugs and Rock 'n Roll on RomenMpire Records/Rags 2 Riches Records to be distributed domestically by WEA later this year. The album features: Sarah McLachlan, Run, Doug E. Fresh, Gary Dourdan (CSI), Romeo Antonio, Kid Rock, Fieldy (Korn), DJ Lethal, Ms. Jade, Sonny Black and Napoleon (Outlawz). The forthcoming album pays homage to the musical influences of DMC's youth, offering a tribute to the likes of Bob Dylan, Harry Chapin and Jimi Hendrix.

DMC performed his first single "Machine Gun" from his forthcoming solo album as well as a smashing remake of Dylan's classic "Watchtower" at Live 8 in Canada. DMC was joined by Aerosmith's Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton and the Car's Elliot Easton and Josh Todd of Buckcherry to perform "Walk this Way," the seminal rock anthem credited with breaking down the cultural barriers between rock and hip-hop and paving the way for artists such as Kid Rock, Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.
