Performer: DMX
Artist: Sisqo; Sheek of The Lox Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Gruff-voiced, tattooed, and preternaturally muscular, rapper DMX became a hip-hop icon in the late `90s through his gritty, unflinching narratives of personal anguish and street hustle. While his ferocious, barking delivery and frequent brushes with the law gave him undeniable street cred, few would have predicted DMX's ascent to mainstream superstardom, including his success at the box office. The famed rapper-turned-actor gets a "greatest of" treatment with a twist on PLAYLIST YOUR WAY, part of a compilation series from Universal Music. Covering all his hits, from the classic posse theme "Ruff Ryders Anthem" to the boastful fanfare of "What's My Name," the eco-friendly package comes with a bonus download card with a link to a biographical podcast, enabling fans to uncover more details about the rapper's history and repertoire.
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.
