"We Right Here" is a song by American hip hop recording artist DMX, released as the first single from his fourth album The Great Depression (2001).
Production
The song shows the use of Pro Tools' ability to create voice masking and voice doubling. DMX does his vocals on the microphone, and then layers them over the top of his previously recorded audio track; this creates a hazed, mellow sound, much like that of someone rapping with a 40 a Day voice.
Music video
The music video was shot in Baltimore (unlike previous videos shot in New York City), and contains cameo appearances from The Lox.
