DMX's career came full circle today, when Columbia Records/Sony Urban Music announced that Dark Man X had returned to the company that gave him his first record contract in 1992.
With his Ruff Ryders crew--motorcycles, pitbulls, and all--by his side, DMX announced at a press conference on January 13th, that he was happy to be back at "a record label that feels more like a home."
"I feel like Sony appreciates good music and talented artists," he said.
Lisa Ellis, President of Sony Urban Music, announced that she was extremely excited to have the multi-platinum selling artist back at the company that launched his career.
In 1992, DMX released his first 12" single, "Born Loser." But it wasn't until his guest appearance on LL Cool J's 1997 hit "4,3,2,1" that DMX captured the nations attention. Since then, X has released five albums, and become one of Hip-Hop's top selling artists of all time.
According to DMX, his goal for this next chapter in his career is simply to, "let life be my song." "I don't make music to make songs, I make music to record my life," he added
Accompanying the Yonkers, NY native at the press conference were Ruff Ryders CEO Joaquin "Waah" Dean and producer Swizz Beatz, who will be collaborating with DMX on his upcoming Columbia Records/Sony Urban Music album.
The album, titled Here We Go Again, is scheduled to be released some time in the spring.
2006 seems to agree with X more than 2005. Last year, the rapper was caught up in a host of legal drama--and even ended up serving brief sentence on Riker's Island.
