Club Dogo's next production was a double-feature LP performing opposite the popular Porzione Massiccia crew of Bologna. PMC vs. Club Dogo was a huge success for both camps, each earning a reputation as the premier hip-hop outfit in its respective city. Their second solo studio record, Penna Capitale, was released in 2006, marking a notable shift toward themes of street life, establishing the group as Milan's voice of "gang urbana" culture. Club Dogo turned a corner with their 2007 release, Vile Denaro, their first record released by a major label. Though they've since drawn criticism for stylistic shifts credited to their contract with EMI, the album reached the group's largest audience to date. They moved to the Universal label for their 2009 effort, Dogocrazia, but the success kept going with no less than five hit singles coming off the album. Their traditional-sounding Che Bello Essere Noi followed a year later, while their 2012 effort found them experimenting with dance music on Noi Siamo il Club. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, Rovi
