Description
PRESSED ON "BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT" COLORED VINYL
The debut studio album by DMX was released onf Def Jam in 1998 and was produced by Dame Grease and PK with additional production by Swizz Beatz, and Irv Gotti,
With a set of undeniable “it” intangibles — his look, charisma, persona, and a bass-growl of a voice — DMX was the rare artist who transcended genre. He had the attitude of a rock star, the energy of 2Pac, and a vulnerability seldom seen in a rap artist, especially one considered as hardcore as he was. For many, DMX represented the streets in the mainstream. His breakthrough album, It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot, reveals a conflicted, complicated artist and man. Earl Simmons fought many demons for much of his too-brief time on earth, but he had a spiritual side where he found solace. Beaten by his mother and her boyfriends, raised by the streets, and introduced to crack cocaine in his early teens, X spent his life in and out of prisons and rehab, but when he performed, he could create concerts that felt more like a church service.
