Over a month ago, the music industry lost one of the best to ever do it in DMX. It was reported on April 2 that he suffered a heart attack from an apparent drug overdose, which soon caused him to be on life support. The New York native was being taken care of at a local hospital at White Plains. His brain function unfortunately did not improve at all over the next week, which resulted in his family deciding to take him off life support.

On April 24, DMX‘s funeral was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. A limited number of people close to X were allowed in the venue as capacity restrictions were still in effect in the state of New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The next day, another memorial service was held in NYC, with loved ones in attendance. Some of the notable speakers included DMX’s ex-wife, Tashera Simmons, and his fiancee at the time, Desiree Lindstrom. These two ladies also shared a hug on stage together. 

Recently, information has also surfaced regarding the amount that DMX‘s estate is said to be worth now. Per HotNewHipHop.com, court documents state that his estate is currently sitting at less than $1 million, maybe even less than $50,000. These documents were initially filed by X’s daughters, Sasha Simmons and Jada Oden, along with his sons, Xavier, Tacoma and Sean Simmons, on May 21. The sons claimed the estate amount is $1 million while the daughters said $50,000.

DMX‘s final interview aired on May 16 on TV One. This was labeled by the network as an “uncensored special event.” Here, he discussed topics such as his mother, success in the music industry, as well as his time in prison. X also showed his appreciation for God as well as persevering in tough moments in life.

“It’s those moments, when they come together — you see the beauty of who you are and why you are,” explained DMX during the TV One interview.

DMX fans should be excited though as a posthumous album is arriving this Friday. This project is titled “Exodus,” and is definitely a star-studded album. 13 tracks are available as appearances include Nas, Jay Z, Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, and more. The first single off of Exodus is “Hood Blues” featuring Benny The Butcher, Westside Gunn, and Conway The Machine. The album as a whole is executive produced by Swizz Beatz, who was very close with DMX.
