DMX In Trouble... Again.

Once again, rapper Earl "DMX" Simmons , finds himself on the wrong side of the law. Not withstanding, his recent vehicle citations for speeding and reckless driving don't compare to the concealed handgun DMX was cited for outside of a Scottsdale, Arizona nightclub.

Officers spotted Simmons, near Buzz on Scottsdale road, when he stopped officers saw him remove his weapon from the holster and place it underneath the front seat of the '64 Chevy convertible.

"He was cited for a misdemeanor weapons violation for not having a permit to conceal the weapon", Scottsdale police Detective Sam Bailey said, adding "He had the top down, the cops were right in the area, and they saw him take out the gun and put it under the front seat."

This may prove costly if the rappers probation is affected by the November charges which landed him in jail for 70 days for being charged with driving over a 100 mph in a 65 mph zone with a suspended license in 2004. Simmons was already due in court June 16th to face his June 2nd vehicle charges, of driving erratically and nearly forcing another driver off the road, but the earlier date was postponed on behalf of his attorney Murray Richman. He is due in court June 21st to face those charges and also due in court the same day for another incident when he began driving on the shoulder and attempting to dangerously re-enter traffic.

Regardless, the rapper is said to be near completion on his newest album, Year of the Dog...Again which will feature members of D-Block after the initial album created with Def Jam was leaked, the rapper left for Sony Music. It's said the album will be released before the end of the year, but no date has been set.
