Song of the day for April 9, 2024

Ruff Ryders’ Anthem by DMX is today’s featured song.

On this day in 2021, 50-year-old rapper DMX died following a cardiac arrest. Born Earl Simmons, he became a hip-hop MC in 1984 and signed with Def Jam Records in 1996. His 1998 debut, It’s Dark And Hot Is Hell, marked the first of a record-breaking five multi-platinum albums that debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200. He took his stage name from a DMX drum machine he used to practice his rhymes to, but later said it was an acronym for “Dark Man X.”
