Do Or Die - D.O.D.Die Hard

A Chicago underground hip hop sensation, Do or Die's hardcore gansta rap feel, undercut with smooth R&B stylings, has proved to be a recipe for success. At the forefront of the Chicago hip hop explosion, the trio incorporated a Southern sound in their anthemic breakthrough "Po Pimp," which topped the charts, while their first full length, PICTURE THIS, went platinum. 2005s self-titled album continued in this vein, boasting collaborations with some of the hottest producers around. Their hit "Higher" was produced by Kanye West, who also appears on the song, while "Magic Chick" is the product of a collaboration with R. Kelly; Scott Storch (Beyonce, Dr. Dre, The Roots) and DJ Quik (2Pac, Talib Kweli) also worked on the album. Included on D.O.D. DIE HARD are the original and uncut versions of music videos for "Around Here," "Higher" and "Magic Chick," while exclusive interviews and live performance footage make this an indispensable glimpse into one of the hottest acts in hip hop.
