Raised in the ghetto, abandoned as a child, addicted to drugs and women all his life but still able to produce four consecutive number one hip-hop albums in a row...this is the life and times of the darkest and most dangerously introspective hip-hop artist ever - at the height of his career and completely uncensored.

His real name was Earl Simmons. As a child, he placed higher on tests than his fellow students and liked to spend mornings with his mother and sisters playing games and making pancakes. But for young Earl - a boy growing up on the streets of Yonkers, New York - that kind of childhood didn’t last long. Beatings, abuse, and neglect very soon had him moving on to other things, like robbing, stealing, drugs, and, eventually, jail. Along the way, however, he found a talent and a passion for rhyme.

After 27 years of chaos, struggle, and survival, DMX became one of the biggest stories in contemporary music. But his character goes beyond that. He was also a father, a husband, and more important, someone who never gave up and never stopped chasing his dreams. He dedicated his life and his music to expressing the thoughts and feelings of those who have never been heard before - just as he was never heard as a child.

This book offered insight into the life of DMX, it allows the reader to understand his life, journey & struggles. While there was a lot of vulgarity in terms of the language, it’s understandable because that’s just unapologetically DMX. While X is no longer with us, my heart is saddened, but I’m glad he had the opportunity to live his dream. This was a great read, or should I say a great listen 😀

Now I understand DMX so much better!

I was overwhelmed hearing Earl aka DMX story. It was by far a great read in understanding his mindset and why he acting out the way he did. There are a lot of Earls in this world today that just want to be loved. Maybe if mothers and fathers will give more love to their kids. They wouldn’t act out the way they do. More young folk need to read/hear his story. His story should be on the big screen for sure!

Great read
