DMX, the squad dog, was born on December 18, 1970 in Baltimore Maryland in the projects. His family knew that in the area where he lived he would get into a lot of trouble. So he moved to Yonkers New York with his aunt. There he showed musical talent. He signed with Columbia Records where his first album entitled Born Loser was released. Peepz wasn't feeling it at the time, in 1996...so he had to release something harder and harder. This is when he began appearing on songs by artists such as LL cool J, John forte, The Lox, Ma$e and many others. Peepz was feeling it then, so he knew he had to release something strong to keep his image alive. That's when 98 came along and he released It's Dark and Hell is Hot under Def Jams Records which sold 3 million copies. He is now one of the best rappers in Eastcost. He says he started rapping for the ladies and if he wasn't the best rapper right now he would have stopped rapping...but he's the best. So let's welcome Dmx to our world... Where are my dogs. If there was one defining characteristic of hip hop in 1997, it was the jiggy factor - an aesthetic of flash, fashion and unapologetic glamor that ruled everything around us and made hip hop life pleasant and organized. Of course, for every movement there is always a counter-movement; for every yin there is a yang; and for every designer label-clad champagne sipper, there must be an uncompromising figure lurking in the shadows, ready and willing to take the rap from penthouse to sidewalk. Embracing this return to anarchy, angry and raw, Def Jam Records is billing 1998 as the Year of Pandemonium. The human embodiment of such exhilarating, pure chaos exists in none other than Ruff Ryders/Def Jam's latest lyrical sensation, DMX. “I love writing rhymes,” says the Yonkers-born MC. "I like to express what real niggas feel, what street niggas feel. They need to be heard. They need to know there's a voice speaking for them, and I'm that voice." In the tumultuous annals of hip hop history, second chance opportunities are rare. However, every so often, the experienced, distinguished bark of a particularly wary dog ​​reemerges from the chaotic kennels of rap, representing the triumph and perseverance inherent in true greatness..
