Listen to DMX's Year of the Dog...Again Before It Drops

Thursday July 27, 2006

He may have severed ties with Jay-Z and Def Jam Records, but DMX (born Earl Simmons) is still down with his old clique, Ruff Ryders. Still down with Styles P and Jadakiss. Still down with his favorite producer, Swizz Beatz, who's never missed out on a DMX party since the days of It's Dark and Hell Is Hot.

Controversy and team loyalty aside, X is now more focused on delivering the same crass, uptempo hip-hop that garnered him a cultlike following in the late 90's. But, don't take our word for it. Listen to Year of the Dog...Again in its entirety before doling out your $9.99 next week.
