The Rise and Fall of DMX

Subtitle 1 – Early Years

In the late 90s and early 2000s, DMX emerged as one of the most successful rappers of all time. He was signed by Ruff Ryders Entertainment, a label founded by Earl Simmons, better known as DMX. DMX quickly rose to the top of the hip hop charts, with his debut album, “It’s Dark and Hell is Hot”, becoming multiplatinum and peaking at No.1 on the Billboard charts. During this time, DMX was one of the most popular rappers of all time, and was featured in numerous movies, television shows, and advertisements.

Subtitle 2 – Controversy and Struggles

Throughout his career, DMX had numerous run-ins with the law, from drug possession and disorderly conduct to animal cruelty and tax evasion. In 2017, DMX was sentenced to a year in prison for tax evasion. Later that year, he was released from prison and released a new album, “Undisputed”. However, his legal woes created a significant amount of drama in his life.

In 2019, DMX was the subject of multiple hospitalization and reportedly suffered from drug addiction.

Unfortunately, this would be the last we would see of DMX, as he passed away one year later at the age of 50.
