A posthumous album from DMX is coming soon.
Entitlted “Let Us Pray: Chapter X” will be available on December 13 and is said to focus on the late rapper’s spiritual side, which was also apparent in his past work.
Tuning into the power of his words, Grammy-winning gospel songwriter/producer Campbell notably crafted new original music to accompany the signature prayers of DMX and instrumentally scored these spoken-word messages straight from the artist’s heart.
“Let Us Pray: Chapter X” also boasts contributions from various superstars across genres, including Snoop Dogg, Mary Mary, Killer Mike, MC Lyte, LeCrae, Terrace Martin, Lena Byrd Miles, and RoyzNoyz Orchestra. The collection is the follow-up to 2021’s “Exodus,” the first posthumous album from the late “Party Up” rapper.
About the project, Campbell commented: “Working on ‘Let Us Pray: Chapter X’ has been one of the most fulfilling experiences for me as a creative. When you hear the voice of DMX, it inspires instant creativity and what better way to showcase who X really was than through prayer. I believe I can speak for MC Lyte, Killer Mike, Snoop Dogg, LeCrae, Mary Mary, Lena Byrd Miles, and Terrace Martin when I say it was an honor and privilege to be part of this amazing work.”
Now, “Favor” (ft. Killer Mike, Mary Mary, & RoyzNoyz Orchestra) introduces “Let Us Pray: Chapter X.” The track boasts a heavenly harmony from Mary Mary as well as a reflective, powerful, and poetic turn from Killer Mikein between DMX’s prayer.
DMX died in 2021 at the age of 50. His official cause of death was determined to be a cocaine-induced heart attack.
“Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever. We appreciate all of the love and support during this incredibly difficult time. Please respect our privacy as we grieve the loss of our brother, father, uncle, and the man the world knew as DMX,” shared the family at the time.
