DX News Bits (DMX, Slum Village, Ja Rule/The Game)

DMX (real name Earl Simmons) was not present during the raid that later revealed three canine corpses (one of which looked to be burned), a large number of weapons, some drug paraphernalia and a lot of cars that dont match the license plates according to reports from the KSAZ-TV in Phoenix.

Earl has a caretaker, who obviously wasnt taking care. Earl loves those dogs, according to DMXs attorney, Murray Richman. Murray continued to state that DMX isnt in AZ and hasnt been for several months as he is working on a new project.

No arrests have been made as of yet.

SV Donates to the Slums
Detroit duo Slum Village teamed up with Remy Martin (the alcoholic beverage company) to donate $7,500 to AIDS Partnership Michigan.

The donation was part of Remy Martins Black Music Month program that set off in June. The popular cognac maker selected 10 up and coming artists to perform in their hometowns. Each artist/group picked a charitable cause and the company made the donation on their behalf.

Its a big epidemic going on in the city of Detroit; and in the black and Latino community especially, said Slum Villages T3.

Enemies of 50 Cent
In case you didnt know, Ja Rule is dropping a new album on November 13 entitled The Mirror.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Ja revealed that he will have (former adversary) The Game as a guest appearance on a track called Sunset.

I dont think people were expecting that but we got a hot record on the album, Ja said.
