Legendary rapper DMX, originally from Yonkers, NY, is officially a free man after serving 8-months of incarceration. He was released yesterday (7/19/2011) from prison in Yuma, Arizona. He told reporters from Allhiphop.com (big-up!) that his first stop would be to visit his probation officer, next a small shopping trip, and then directly to a recording studio. DMX who has lived in Maricopa County in central Arizona since 2006 stated that he has already spoken on the phone with his ex-wife and youngest daughter, and can't wait to go home. DMX, born as Earl Simmons, was originally sentenced to 11-months in prison back in December 2010 for violating his probation with a multitude of traffic infractions and failing to submit to a drug test. The sentence could have been as short as 6-months, was increased for 2 more months because of DMX's repeated violations of smoking in a designated area, and his involvement in helping others sneak in drugs. Check out the video below to see DMX's first moments out of prison, who he'd like to collaborate with, and his eagerness to get back to recording and performing. Enjoy...
