Def Jam to release Dmx Greatest Hits

Last year, DMX left Def Jam Records for Sony Music and released his first album, Year of The Dog, Again, that didn’t enter the Billboard 200 albums chart at Number One. Prior to that release, he was the only artist in history to have his first five albums each debut at Number One on the Billboard 200 charts. Def Jam Records has decided to release a 20-song greatest hits set, titled The Definition of X: Pick of The Litter, which will hit stores on June 12th.

The set will include "Ruff Ryders’Anthem," "Get At Me Dog," "Stop Being Greedy," "How’s It Going Down," "What These B**ches Want," "Blackout," "What’s My Name?," "Who We Be," "X Gon’Give It To Ya," "Where the Hood At," and several other songs.

Last year as he was parting ways with Def Jam, DMX explained that he always wanted to be signed to the label. He said: "When I first went to Def Jam, it was like a dream come true. At 14 years old, I remember watching the movie Krush Groove. I was so naive that I thought that all I’d have to do was meet him (Simmons) and rhyme for him and I’d be just like, you know, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, and all that, you know?"

The rapper added: "It was a blessing, you know? Because I was invited to a home, you know? Then they sold the house on me."
