Dee Dee King - Standing In The Spotlight (Lossless) [1989]

Standing In The Spotlight was Dee Dee (Ramone) King's debut album as a rapper/rocker. Which, of course, makes it one hell of a great collector's item! Musically, the songs vary from Old School Hip-Hop to Rock & Roll and the Eighties popular music to the Ramones style songs. The songs are co-written with long time collaborator Daniel Rey and friends Debbie Harry and Chris Stein (Blondie) appear on a couple of tracks.

Rapper Dee Dee King is actually rocker Dee Dee Ramone going through a whopping identity crisis in the late '80s. As Ramones drummer Marky Ramone put it, "Dee Dee isn't a rap artist, he's a rock artist. I thought it was sort of unusual. One day he started wearing Mercedes Benz chains around his neck and gold rings. It was crazy. You know, I really think he lost his mind".
