After a widely-reported prison sentence, Yonkers Rap veteran DMX is a free man. According to AllHipHop.com, late yesterday, the one-time Def Jam Records star was released from Arizona’s Maricopa County Jail.
The 90 day sentence was extended from late last year, after the rapper had some highly-publicized disputes with guards, including a February incident involving a lunch tray. The rapper was also recently ordered to pay over a quarter of a million dollars for a 2004 road rage/police impersonating civil suit [click to read].
Having last released 2006’s Year Of The Dog…Again [click to read] on Columbia Records, the same imprint that first signed the rapper in 1991, DMX has stated previously that he intends to release a double album entitled Walk With Me Now and Fly With Me Later. The albums will be split between Hip Hop and Gospel. There has been no confirmation of DMX being signed to a label, or his post-prison release plans.
