A week after his unfortunate and tragically untimely death at just 50-years-old. Legendary Yonkers and Ruff Ryders emcee, DMX is back with his first posthumous verse. As Dark Man X is heavily featured on Swizz Beatz’s newest, Godfather of Harlem, single, Been To War. That also features French Montana.
The new track finding X over the booming Swizzy production. Rapping about all the trials and tribulations that he turned into perseverance, as well as triumph. For his autobiographical posthumous verse that shows why DMX had such a legendary legacy that still lives on now. Even after he’s gone in the physical. Montana even delivering a surprisingly autobiographical guest verse of his own. With both Dark Man X and French’s energetic guest verses also matching Swizz Beatz’s very energetic hook on the booming production.
The new single also set to be in the upcoming new Season 2 of EPIX’s very critically-acclaimed series, Godfather of Harlem. That stars the legendary, Forest Whitaker, as late and storied Harlem mob boss, Bumpy Johnson. The new season premiering this Sunday, April, 18th. With Swizz curating new music for the series each week of the season, just like he did last year for Season 1. It’s just to bad that Swizz’s very good friend and longtime collaborator, DMX, is no longer here in the physical to enjoy the positive reactions and feedback to his new music. Long live and R.I.P. DMX.
