EFTV - 150: Look Thru My Eyes - Part 1

As #EFTV hits 150, we use the episode to look back at the life and work of 'DMX' (Earl Simmons).

My homie Dan jumps in to not just go over this crazy career, but also reflect on the impact the albums and music had on our lives.

18 December 1970 - 9 April 2021

In 1991, DMX hit The Source's Unsigned Hype column. Which started the momentum, that got fuelled by Mic Geronimo's 'Time To Build' single, that featured X, Jay-Z & Ja Rule.

Guest spots on '24 Hrs. to Live' by Mase, 'Money, Power & Respect' by The LOX, '4, 3, 2, 1' by LL Cool J. Lead to 'It's Dark and Hell Is Hot' in February 1998 and seven months later (December 1998) he drops 'Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood'. A year later (December 1999) '... And Then There Was X' hit!
