Loneliness, madness, and salvation. A shocking work in which DMX exposes his inner darkness.
After reaching the pinnacle of the hip-hop world with his previous three albums, DMX's fourth album is a more introspective portrayal of his own struggles and loneliness. It sold nearly 440,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number one on the US album charts.
This is DMX's most poignant and darkest story, as he confronts the deepening loneliness that lies beneath his global success. The sharp beats of "I'ma Bang," produced by Just Blaze, and the absurdity of society depicted in "Who We Be" are not mere anger, but the cry of his own soul, torn between deep faith and despair. This is one of the most powerful albums of his career, simultaneously capturing the majesty of a hip-hop star and the vulnerability of a human being.
