Early this month, Xs health condition took a nosedive for the worst as he was reported to be in critical condition following a heart attack allegedly from drug overdose and the same night he suffered cerebral hypoxia as paramedics attempted to resuscitate him. Seven days later, he was pronounced dead at the age of 50

What’s so startling about DMX is not his stature, not his demeanour, not his songwriting or even the starkest headlines about him. It’s his voice; you can never unhear his wild barks and wounded groans.
