DMX returns to the spotlight with a posthumous album, “DMX Features,” and a new single featuring Joyner Lucas.
“DMX Features,” a collection of unreleased collaborations, is scheduled to drop in summer 2025, four years after the rapper died at age 50.
The first single, “Bring Out the Worst,” featuring Joyner Lucas, arrived Thursday (May 30) through DNA Music Group and Hitmaker Distro.
The full tracklist hasn’t been released, but the album is expected to include appearances from Wiz Khalifa and Kevin Gates, among others, according to Rolling Stone.
“DMX Features” follows 2021’s “Exodus,” which dropped shortly after his death.
“Bring Out the Worst” is available now on streaming platforms. “DMX Features” is scheduled for release in the summer of 2025.
DMX, Joyner Lucas – Bring Out The Worst
Born Earl Simmons, DMX died on Friday (April 9, 2021) at White Plains Hospital in New York after suffering a cocaine-induced heart attack that caused brain damage. He had been on life support for a week following the April 2 overdose.
DMX had long spoken publicly about his struggles with addiction and had entered rehab multiple times, most recently in 2019.
He left behind 15 children and his mother, Arnett Simmons. He died without a will, and his estate has been tied up in legal battles over debts and inheritance.
Now, the estate is dealing with another issue: a surprise auction of DMX memorabilia.
GottaHaveRockandRoll is selling handwritten lyrics, unreleased music, cassette tapes, and rare performance footage, with some items expected to fetch tens of thousands of dollars.
The estate issued a statement condemning the sale: “We were surprised and disappointed to learn of this auction, which is not authorized and was not cleared by the Estate of Earl ‘DMX’ Simmons.”
They added, “We consider this a violation of the Estate’s rights and will be pursuing appropriate action.”
According to the estate, the items were not provided by any family member but instead came from a former industry associate.
