Earl Simmons (born December 18, 1970) better known by his stage name DMX (also known as Dog Man X and Dark Man X) is a multi-Platinum American rapper and actor. His stage name was originally an acronym of “Divine Master of the Unknown”, but also pays tribute to an instrument he used in the 1980s, the Oberheim DMX drum machine In 1999, DMX released his best-selling album …And Then There Was X, which featured the hit single “Party Up (Up in Here)”. He has acted in films such as Belly, Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 The Grave, and Last Hour. In 2006, he starred in the reality television series DMX: Soul of a Man, which was primarily aired on the BET cable television network. In 2003, DMX published a book of his memoirs entitled, E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX. DMX dropped a new mixtape “The Weigh In” as a prelude/promotion towards his upcoming album on May 15th 2012. DMX has sold over 20 million records in the US alone, making him one of the best-selling hip-hop artists of all time.

DMX began to beatbox with Ready Ron in 1984. Gabriel Grevenstuk from The Source magazine praised him in his 1991 “Unsigned Hype” column, which highlighted unsigned hip-hop artists. A year later, Columbia Records signed DMX to their subsidiary label Ruffhouse, who released his debut single “Born Loser”. The single did not get much air play. The label eventually agreed to release DMX from their contract. He released his second single, “Make a Move” in 1994, and made a guest appearance on LL Cool J’s single “4, 3, 2, 1″ in 1997. Additional guest spots on Mase singles “24 Hours to Live” images-dmx-jewelse and “Take What’s Yours”, and The LOX’s single “Money, Power & Respect” created a strong buzz.[3] DMX also made a cameo appearance in the Sum 41 music video for “Makes No Difference”. At WrestleMania XXVII, during a promo package for professional wrestler John Cena, DMX gave a special sermon, which reflects his ministry beliefs and the church-like entrance of Cena.

In February 1998, DMX released his debut major-label single, “Get at Me Dog”, on Def Jam Recordings. The single was certified Gold by the RIAA. His first major-label album, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, which included the single “Ruff Ryders Anthem”, was released in May 1998. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S and sold over five million copies.

Later that year in December, DMX released his second album, Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, where it remained for three consecutive weeks. Within one week of the album’s release, 670,000 units were shipped.[citation needed] It was eventually certified Platinum four times. As a result, DMX was the second rapper in history (following Tupac Shakur) to have released two albums in the same year, which both debuted at number one on Billboard 200.
