DMX Lord Give Me A Sign

A rough-toned Yonkers MC who debuted with hometown friends the Lox on a DJ Clue mix-tape, DMX hit the big time in early 1998 when his single "Get at Me Dog" became a club and radio smash. The rapper had first appeared seven years earlier however, in an "Unsigned Hype" column by The Source back in 1991. He was signed to Columbia a few years later, but the deal fell through before recording had even begun. DMX guested on tracks by LL Cool J, Mase and Mic Geronimo (among others), then signed to Def Jam in 1997.

His debut album It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot debuted at number one in May 1998, and eventually sold platinum four times over. Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood followed just six months later (also debuting at the top), and in late 1999 DMX returned with ...And Then There Was X. Once again, he entered the charts at number one.
