Swizz Beatz has unveiled the official tracklist for DMX’s first posthumous album Exodus. X’s longtime friend and producer posted the back cover art for the album on Friday (May 28), less than 24 hours after he held a special listening party for a select few.
As previously reported, the 13-track project features a laundry list of notable guests, including The LOX, Snoop Dogg, Nas, JAY-Z, Lil Wayne, Griselda and U2’s Bono.
Swizz Beatz wrote a simple caption alongside the tracklist that read, “Let’s get to the magic !!!!!! 5/28 EXODUS the ALBUM. Long live @dmx The Great. official tracklist.”
DMX passed away at White Plains Hospital in White Plains, New York on April 9 at the age of 50. During the Zoom listening party for Exodus, Swizz Beatz revealed he was completely blindsided by the turn of events but instantly knew it was his duty to make sure his legacy continued.
“This project meant a lot to him,” Swizz shared with HipHopDX and the other roughly 200 people on the Zoom call. “It was something he showed up to do and couldn’t wait for people to hear. It was a project he wanted the world to hear. We didn’t want to wait too long because he didn’t want to wait too long. The album’s name is Exodus, which he has across his neck and is on the album cover. It’s also his youngest son’s name.

“He was just in a good vibe. He was just in a good energy. I can’t lie. When he left us, I was pretty shocked because he was just ready to go to the next level. We started the album cycle and then we was going to start the physical fitness side of it. We was about to go to the gym. We was about to be on a different type of the schedule for the whole month and he was in a good space. All of a sudden, that news happened and it just changed all the plans.”
As Swizz noted, the highly anticipated album is expected to arrive on Friday (May 28).
I thought X said he had Pop Smoke on a song?
That trash didn’t make the cut
Swizz Beatz took Pop Smoke out and added Jay-Z and Nas. I don’t have nothing against Jay and Nas, but they shouldn’t be on this album
You’re wrong. The Bath Salts song was previewed years ago during the Swizz vs Just Blaze battle. This was before Pop Smoke was even known of.
Do your research. The song was done without Pop smoke years ago. That was from around 2016, 2017 With Jay and Nas. No pop smoke.
How in the fuck did you get 10 upvotes? So y’all are telling me you would rather hear Pop Smoke and not Jigga and Esco? Smh.
Yes, if that’s what X wanted I rather hear him with Pop Smoke than with people like Jay Z, Nas, Usher or Moneybagg Yo. Fake love is real. Fuk Swizz Beatz
Pop smoke sucks anyway, glad he is not on this. All I know is ja rule gonna be pist of for the jay and nas song.
Another song with Hov and Nas on it. What a year!
but [literally] all joints they did 2gether [thus far] have all been garbage, tho. asshole.
Why are there no solo songs?
Bath Salts is in there goddamn it!! This one is making my day since I heard the snippet on youtube a few years back and the beat was fire as fuck! I hope just hope swizz kept the same version.
That’sa dope track list. Excited
Dope track list, glad pop,smoke was removed his music is trash! Sorry not sorry.
U trash u bum…WOo Pop Smoke R.I.P.
why is Jadakiss not the Bath Salts song on the album? his verse was dope.
Can’t say for sure…but I feel this isn’t the track list x had ready
X wouldn’t have done a track with Jay now. Jay screwed him over big time when he was c.e.o of def jam
Stop it fam you’re being a clown. That was what in 2005 ? So 16 years later X and Jay couldn’t have made peace ? From what we all think we know about X was he was a forgiving person, and that song was done 2,3years ago with X knowing Jay was on the track so stop being a gossip girl trying to bring up old shit. X wouldn’t have done it and Swizz wouldn’t have released it without X’s-blessing prior to his passing.
Swizz Beatz a bitch and you know it. X wouldn’t put Jay, Nas and Moneybagg Yo on this album. This is a compilation now
can’t speak for hov or moneybagg but he definitely fucked with Nas. I’ve seen concert footage of a Wayne show in houston or something X was in the building, Wayne shouted him out on stage and brought him out to do a song. He told the crowd only people he fucked with were Nas and Scarface.
He had sex with Nas? I had no idea DMX was into men.
Too many features ….. hope is good duo
Where are the tracks with pop smoke and Germaine XXXL?
JAY-Z bought the spot!
It’s a shame they didn’t give fuck about X when he obviously had problems and now they put clowns on his posthumous album like Usher, WSG and Bono. DMX wasn’t a great person. He was an animal abuser, drug addict fake Christian. But as a rapper he was one of the last original voices in the maintream.
Ur mother was a fake women that ur dad made a worthless baby with. Pussy!!
That’s a fact LOL. John lame af
Who. is u to be judging him or anyone.. People like you b miserable with themselfs n just love to talk bad about everyone else.. Keep ur b.s. comments to urself… DMX .. S.I.P…
STFU BITCH AND LISTEN TO HIS ALBUM! You don’t believe in God
are you completely stupid?
DMX collaborated with those people before his death. IT WAS HIS CHOICE while alive. of course they include those features.
they were NOT added after his death.
you can check this on his last interviews
What a pathetic bum sucker you are. Why do you lack common sense in this day and age? Are you that stupid that you get high every second talking from your ass? Who raised you fool?
X been done squashed that old beef with Jay
I tunes bonus track: where the hood at pt2 ft pop smoke & Germaine XXXL pod by lil Jon
First posthumous album? So they are now implying there will be more to follow. They pimpin dude corpse, even added all type of clowns on his album that DMX had problems with, what pieces of shit they are for doing this to him, such a shame
You must be retarded because when he was alive he said during drink Champs all these people were supposed to be on his new album you’re an idiot. Only person he said was on the album that I don’t see is pop smoke.
That bath salt track goes so hard track of the summer ???
This is some bullshit.. look at all those people on his album that never gave a fuck about dude alive.. i hate you all for doing this to X legacy.. you ruined it for me.. i will punish you for this
I can’t be mad at what you said—It would’ve been better without the special guest maybe a few- I mean it’s gonna sell but It would’ve been better with less appearances. At least give me one song with just him.
