"We in Here" is a hip hop song performed by American rapper DMX, released in June 2006. It is the first single released from his sixth album, Year of the Dog... Again. It samples "Nobody but Yours Babe" by Blowfly. The song is also known as a diss track towards his old label Def Jam Recordings.

[edit] Production

The song was produced by Ruff Ryder's producer Swizz Beatz, who also contributed vocals on the chorus, various ad libs in between verses, and a short, introductary passage at the beginning. The beat contains the trademark Swizz Beatz siren throughout, as well as horn sounds and pounding drums.

  • Towards the end of verse three, a short diss is sent towards Rihanna: " I ain't gon' front, that Pon De Replay shit was kinda hot, not!, how you gonna jack Will Smith for a beat, its like trying to jack me for the streets", probably due to the fact that Rihanna is signed to Def Jam Records, the label DMX left because of creative differences.
  • For the clean/video version of the song, DMX's trademark vocalisations are layered over the explicit words.
