DMX is Hip Hop Royalty as far as i am concerned. No matter what people say, or how he tends to get out of control sometimes; when he gets his head right, he always comes correct. I remember reading back in late 90s, that
DMX was one of the artists that saved Def Jam in its rough times with his phenomenal sales. He released two albums;
It's Dark and Hell Is Hot &
Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood in the same year (1998)...both albums sold over 5 million copies individually worldwide.
DMX and
Tupac are the only rappers in history to have two albums released in the same calendar year to chart at number 1. For
Tupac, it was
All Eyez on Me and
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, both released in 1996.
DMX has not released an album since
Year of The Dog...Again in 2006, which was his 6th album. He has been in and out Jail since then, but since he got out last year, he has been working on his 7th album,
Undisputed , which is slated to drop June 26th. If this date doesn't get changed, i would really love to get a new album from
X. And the fact that he is featuring the Late Notorious B.I.G on it intrigues me. Cos, i don't see their styles mixing...i would love to hear how it comes out.
Below is the news on his Undisputed album-
“X is very excited to release this project,” said DMX’s publicist, Domenick Nati. “This album has a lot of hits on it, and his fans will see that it’s been worth the wait. Undisputed will prove to the world that DMX is back!”
DMX has kept busy since his release from prison in 2011 with numerous concert appearances and a highly-publicized stint on VH1′s “Couples Therapy”.
The video for his first single “I Don’t Dance” featuring Machine Gun Kelly will be released in mid-May, and thealbum’s next single will include an appearance from deceased rap legend, Notorious B.I.G. (allhiphop.com)
