DMX "Prayer"

DMX announced himself to the world in 1998 with his multi-platinum-selling debut album It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, a stormy survey of greed, violence, crime and betrayal, which also displayed his gift for blending light and heavy textures behind an intense, menacing presence at the microphone. Before the end of that year DMX had released his second blockbuster, Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, another number one album. DMX's next three albums also went to number one, making him was first rapper to have their first five albums go straight to the top of the US chart.
