DMX’s Eldest Son Signed Off On His Posthumous Album

Swizz Beatz asked DMX’s family to sign off on the rapper’s posthumous album.

The super-producer — who announced this week that an album he produced with the late star is dropping later this month — says he played the tracks for the rapper’s eldest son for approval according to PageSix.

Swizz held a listening session of the eight track album, titled “Exodus,” for a group of international DJs over Zoom this week.

“It’s a top-notch line-up of featured artists,” a source tells us of the upcoming album. “He gives the street side he is known for, but also shows his side with God.” They continue, “He embraces his age and you can tell he was in a good space and was having fun.”

Swizz said during the Zoom that he was with DMX for every song he recorded and that he played the tracks for DMX’s eldest son to get approval before it’s released.

Swizz also said the rapper himself also heard and approved each track before he passed in April at the age of 50 from a drug overdose that left him in a “vegetative state.”

This is DMX’s first album since 2012’s “Undisputed.”

Swizz told Hot 97’s “Ebro in the Morning” that, “The album is a masterpiece. It’s not a regular tone.” And “Before, a lot of the projects was like sending a beat here, sending a beat there. This is us like in the studio every day, like really, really zoned out and making magic. He put his time and effort…this is something different.”

“Exodus,” drops May 28.
