Few losses have resonated in the hip-hop community as profoundly as the passing of DMX in April 2021. Despite the uncertainties surrounding the circumstances of his death, the rap world united to honor the legendary artist. Following his demise, the album he had been actively working on, titled “Exodus,” was completed with contributions from an array of high-profile artists including Jay-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Swizz Beatz, and Usher.
Swizz Beatz, a significant collaborator on “Exodus,” recently contemplated the possibility of crafting another posthumous DMX project. During an interview with HipHopDX, when questioned about having enough material for another album, he affirmed, “for sure.” However, the decision to create a second posthumous album remains uncertain. Swizz Beatz responded, “Will I make another X album? I don’t know. It has to feel good.” His thoughtful response leaves the door open to the potential for more posthumous releases.
