The hunger turned to fire. In Part 2 of our DMX story, we follow Earl Simmons’ rise from the underground to global stardom — a journey where music history, true crime, and the gangster stories of the 1990s collide.

This chapter explores his breakout albums, his battles with fame and addiction, and the raw energy that made him both unstoppable and vulnerable. It’s the story of an artist who gave everything to the mic, and a man who carried the weight of his demons in the spotlight.

This episode is part of our immersive audio documentary series — designed for deep listening, late-night reflection, and true hip hop fans.
