Photographer: Mark Mann. Nearly a decade after he hit the scene hard with his debut, IT'S DARK AND HELL IS HOT, and went on to conquer the hip-hop industry and become one of the highest-selling artists of all-time, the Yonkers native known as DMX brings 18 of his hottest recordings together on one CD for THE DEFINITION OF X: PICK OF THE LITTER. This greatest-hits collection features the tracks that achieved anthem status, including the street bangers as well as the radio joints. From the timeless energy of "Ruff Ryders' Anthem" and "Get At Me Dog" to the R&B-infused intensity of "What These Bitches Want" to the high-volume vigor of "What's My Name" and "We Right Here," THE DEFINITION OF X is truly the definitive DMX collection. Sheek Louch, Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz, the Lox, and Sisqo are also featured.
Like pop stars in the days of yore, late-1990s hip-hop icon DMX has made his mark both as a recording artist and as an actor. His charisma and intensity serve him as well on screen as they do on record, and he has appeared in such popular films as ROMEO MUST DIE and EXIT WOUNDS. Musically, the artist formerly known as Earl Simmons employs rough-edged lyrics and a spitfire delivery that make him seem like a sonic force of nature. Like any hardcore rapper worth his salt, DMX has had his brushes with the law, but he's never let legal difficulties stand in the way of his career.
