It has been nearly ten years since DMX released a proper studio album. The last release under his name—2015’s Redemption of the Beast—was outed as a cash grab by a record label who had the rights to handful of Dark Man X songs by his longtime collaborator, Swizz Beatz.
Since Swizz knows best, he made the grand announcement that not only is X putting the finishing the final touches on his long-awaited comeback album, but it has some pretty high-profile features to boot.
“I am truly ultra proud of the steps my brother has been taking to greatness,” the platinum-selling producer said in a month-old Instagram that somehow went under the radar. “Some people think it’s easy to shake unfortunate situations but it’s not! I would love for all the fans to hit up @DMX and show him love for being focused, clean, & ready to earn back his crown. Long live the Dog AKA my brother AKA the Great.? Love you for life!! RR 4 Life!! Let’s get ’em!!Album sounding nice king….. We’re just waiting on DRE & Kanye tracks to wrap up!!!!”
The upcoming collaboration between The Good Doctor and DMX will be the official pairing first between the two rap legends. In 2003, a then little known Kanye West produced the track “Dogs Out” for the former Ruff Ryder’s fifth studio album, Grand Champ.
