Mad Dog American is the debut album by American rap rock band SX-10.^{[1] [2]} It was released on June 6, 2000. The twelve-track record featured guest appearances by the likes of Mellow Man Ace, Kottonmouth Kings, Everlast, Rey Oropeza, and DJ Muggs & Eric Bobo from Cypress Hill.

Allmusic reviewer John Young wrote that "The band sounds like a stripped-down, unambitious Rage Against the Machine—and though this couldn't have been the intention, for better or worse, SX-10 is more enjoyable than most of the Cypress Hill you're likely to hear".^[3]

The album was reissued in Europe with new artwork and re-titled as Rhymes in the Chamber in 2004, on the Music Avenue label.^[4]
