TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
X previously teased features like Pop Smoke, Lil Wayne and Bono.
This project has the potential to remind people just how good X was.
It'd be amazing to see X's career finish how it started -- with multi-platinum sales on top of the charts.
We're lucky that he made the time to put together one last project.
You've gotta wonder how finished this project was when he passed.
The photographer behind many of DMX’s most iconic images, Jonathan Mannion, is responsible for the accompanying cover art released ahead of the May 28th project. The posthumous release will be X’s first Def Jam album in 18 years -- since Grand Champ dropped back in 2003.
Swizz says, “My brother X was one of the most pure and rare souls I’ve ever met. He lived his life dedicated to his family and music. Most of all, he was generous with his giving and loved his fans beyond measure. This album, X couldn’t wait for his fans all around the world to hear and show just how much he valued each and every single person that has supported him unconditionally.”
We also know that X’s daughter, 8-year-old Sonovah Hillman Junior, will be featured on a track or two. She told an NBC affiliate that producers asked her to perform on two songs from her dad’s album.
