Album: It's Dark and Hell Is Hot (May 19, 1998)
Earl Simmons (December 18, 1970 – April 9, 2021), known professionally as DMX, was an American rapper and actor.
He began rapping in the early 1990s and released his debut album It's Dark and Hell Is Hot in 1998,
to both critical acclaim and commercial success, selling 251,000 copies within its first week of release.
DMX released his bestselling album, ... And Then There Was X, in 1999, which included the hit single "Party Up (Up in Here)".
His 2003 singles "Where the Hood At?" and "X Gon' Give It to Ya" were also commercially successful.
He was the first artist to debut an album at No.1 five times in a row on the Billboard 200 charts.
DMX sold over 74 million records worldwide.
DMX was featured 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, he published a book of his memoirs entitled E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX.
On April 2, 2021, at approximately 11:00 pm, Simmons was rushed to White Plains Hospital,
where he was reported to be in critical condition following a heart attack at his home possibly resulting from a drug overdose.
The next day, his attorney Murray Richman confirmed Simmons was on life support.
That same night, Simmons suffered cerebral hypoxia (oxygen deprivation to his brain) as paramedics attempted to resuscitate him for 30 minutes.
Simmons' former manager, Nakia Walker, said he was in a "vegetative state" with "lung and brain failure and no current brain activity".
His manager, Steve Rifkind, stated Simmons was comatose and that he was set to undergo tests to determine his brain's functionality and his family will "determine what's best from there".
On the morning of April 9, 2021, Simmons lost functionality in multiple essential organs, reportedly his liver, kidneys, and lungs, and was pronounced dead shortly after at age 50.
It was revealed on July 8 by the Westchester County Medical Examiner's Office that Simmons' official cause of death was a cocaineinduced heart attack.
Mason Durell Betha (born August 27, 1975), better known by his mononym Mase (formerly Murda Mase and stylized as Ma$e), is an American rapper.
In the late 1990s, he recorded on the Bad Boy Records label alongside its founder Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs to significant mainstream success.
In 1997 and 1998, as a lead or featured artist, Mase had a total of five platinum singles, five US Rap No. 1 singles, and six Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles, including "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down", "Mo Money Mo Problems", "Been Around the World", "Feel So Good", "What You Want" and "Lookin' at Me".
Both "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" and "Mo Money Mo Problems" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Lox (stylized The LOX or The L.O.X.) is an American hip hop group from Yonkers, New York, formed in 1994.
The group is composed of East Coast rappers Sheek Louch, Styles P and Jadakiss.
They had originally signed to Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Records in 1996, before joining Ruff Ryders in 1999,
and have since launched their own label, DBlock.
Jason "Jadakiss" Phillips, David "Styles P" Styles, and Sean "Sheek Louch" Jacobs, began their musical careers in their hometown of Yonkers, New York.
As high school students, they formed a group called the Bomb Squad and began performing at local shows and producing their own demos.
In 1994, they appeared on Main Source's "Set It Off" from the album Fuck What You Think.
While the local rap scene was being dominated by artists like Raw Rome, Lord Devon and a young DMX,
the group began to gain attention for their lyrical style and ability to present tales of urban life.
The group eventually changed their name to the Warlox and continued developing a fan base by appearing on underground mixtapes.
The Lox gained national exposure in 1997 with an onside collaboration on Sean "Puffy" Combs' single "It's All About the Benjamins",
shortly after gaining additional exposure with their multiplatinum tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. "We'll Always love Big Poppa".
The trio later appeared on a multitude of hits, Mase's "24 Hrs. to Live", Mariah Carey's "Honey", and Jennifer Lopez's "Jenny from the Block".
The group's debut album Money, Power & Respect, went Platinum by the RIAA.
