Since then, the onetime superstar has been on a climb that feels distinct in a career filled with peaks and valleys. The 48-year-old Yonkers, New York representative toured to honor the 20th-anniversary of his debut album. In May, he was among the headliners at Minnesota’s Soundset Festival. It was <a href="https://ambrosiaforheads.com/2019/09/dmx-def-jam-swizz-beatz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently confirmed that the artist reunited with Def Jam Records</a>, the label and distributor that partnered with Earl Simmons for five consecutive #1 albums in the 1990s and early 2000s.
