Like him or not, DMX was a force to reckon with 10 years ago when he dropped his Ruff Ryder debut, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot. His style was a bit different compared to the Bad Boy image that was prevalent at the time. Producers such as Swizz Beatz, Irv Gotti, P.K., and Dame Grease gave DMX that dark gothic sound that made him stand apart from the crowd.
