DMX hasn’t put out an album since Undisputed which came out in 2012, but you can hear him freestyle at the XXL office mere hours after he was released from jail. So, turn back the clocks to the year 2011, as we look back at a series of videos we did with DMX in the summer of yesteryear.

Watch DMX recount where he was during 9/11, in an interesting moment of introspection for the rapper from Yonkers.

DMX is no stranger to controversy, so it comes as no surprise that he has more than a few words to say about shock value rap.
