DMX was one of the most electrifying and raw forces in hip-hop history, a rapper whose gravelly bark and unfiltered intensity made him a superstar at the turn of the millennium. Born Earl Simmons in Yonkers, New York in 1970, he channelled a hard, painful upbringing into music of ferocious energy and unexpected spiritual depth, often ending albums with heartfelt prayers. His 1998 debut 'It's Dark and Hell Is Hot' launched an astonishing run: he became the first artist to have his first five albums all debut at number one. Anthems like 'Ruff Ryders' Anthem', 'Party Up (Up in Here)', 'X Gon' Give It to Ya' and 'Where the Hood At' pair pounding, minimal beats with his barking cadence, signature growls and call-and-response ad-libs. Equal parts menace, vulnerability and preacher-like fervour, he brought a visceral honesty rare in mainstream rap. He also built a parallel career as an actor in gritty action films, bringing the same raw presence to the screen. His sudden death in 2021 was mourned across the culture. For raw, aggressive hardcore hip-hop built on a gravelly, barking delivery and pounding beats, DMX is a defining reference.
