DMX built a career that began in Yonkers, New York, where he developed his earliest skills as a performer through beatboxing before fully shifting to writing and recording his own material. His work attracted attention in the early 1990s when he appeared in The Source magazine’s Unsigned Hype column, a feature that placed a spotlight on rising talent. That early exposure set him on the path toward a record deal, which led to his signing with Ruff Ryders Entertainment and Def Jam. From there, his recording career moved quickly and forcefully, arriving at a moment when hip-hop was evolving nationwide.
He entered the national stage with a run of back-to-back albums that immediately positioned him as a major figure in the genre. His debut, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, arrived in 1998 and featured the breakthrough singles “Get at Me Dog,” “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem,” and “Stop Being Greedy.” Later that same year, he released his second album, Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, which further expanded his reach and capped a remarkable 12-month period that saw him place two number-one albums on the Billboard 200.
His third album, …And Then There Was X, continued the momentum and delivered “Party Up (Up in Here),” one of his most widely recognized singles. His subsequent releases included The Great Depression in 2001, Grand Champ in 2003, Year of the Dog… Again in 2006, Undisputed in 2012, and Exodus in 2021.
Throughout this period, his singles continued to chart and reach audiences across radio, television, and live venues. Recordings including “Slippin’,” “Who We Be,” “Where the Hood At?,” and “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” expanded his profile and formed a body of work that fueled his tours, soundtrack appearances, and television exposure. His recording catalog placed him among the most commercially successful hip-hop artists of his era, with several platinum and multi-platinum albums released in rapid succession.
His work did not end with music alone. DMX moved into film and television early in his career, beginning with a role in the 1998 film Belly and expanding into titles including Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave, and Never Die Alone. These appearances brought his presence into the mainstream outside the recording world and established him as a recognizable performer in multiple formats. He also published E.A.R.L.: The Autobiography of DMX in 2003, presenting his life story in his own words.
His influence extended into charity and community work, including outreach connected to youth programs. His life also included numerous legal challenges, but through every stage, he maintained a career that continued to produce recordings, public appearances, and performances until his death in 2021. Exodus, completed before his death and released posthumously, was followed by the 2024 spiritual project Let Us Pray: Chapter X and the 2025 single “Bring Out the Worst” with Joyner Lucas.
The A-to-Z list below includes DMX’s studio-album tracks, skits, prayers, soundtrack recordings, standalone singles, posthumous releases, and officially issued instrumental versions.
