The podcast series will be distributed by iHeartPodcasts later this year
The series will focus on the life of the “Get at Me Dog” lyricist, who ushered in a new era of rap with his rough, deep voice and trademark barks. It will start with his beginnings before being discovered and signed by the Ruff Ryders Entertainment team. Discussions and viewpoints from family members, childhood friends, fellow rappers, and others who have come across DMX during his storied career.
The executive producers of the series, Bruce Miller and Justin Baez, also grew up in the same town as DMX and Jadakiss, as they are acquainted with the deceased rapper and his family.
DMX was recently ordained as a minister posthumously in Tarrytown, New York, at Foster Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church.
“Earl Simmons wrestled with God in the public square, turning his pain into a ministry of raw truth,” said Bishop Dr. Osiris Imhotep, founder of the Gospel Cultural Center. “This ordination recognizes the divine calling he fulfilled every time he spoke a prayer into a microphone.”
The rapper often discussed, through his music and in interviews, the struggles he experienced and reportedly had an extensive battle with drug addiction, which purportedly continued until his death.
