DMX Leaves Def Jam; Signs With Sony Music Monday - December 19, 2005
DMX, who is currently serving a 70-day jail sentence for driving with a suspended license, has left his longtime recording home of Def Jam and is headed for a new ground.
According to MTV News, once the Yonkers native is released from jail, he is Sony Music bound, where he has reportedly signed a deal.
DMX has cut all ties with Def Jam after hinting earlier this year that Jay-Z's new position at the label has put a strain on their relationship.
The rapper was previously signed with Columbia (which is now part of Sony Music) back in the early '90s, but after recording for the label, his music never saw the light of day.
X has released five #1 albums for Def Jam including his quadruple platinum debut, It's Dark and Hell is Hot, in 1998. The rapper had stated in the past his frustration with Def Jam and was supposedly retiring after his last album, The Grand Champ was released, but it seems he has had a change of heart.
The rapper's new Def Jam album, Here We Go Now, was scheduled for release earlier this year, but has since been put on indefinite hold.

First off I can't believe he went to jail for driving on a suspended license. That seems harsh but maybe there were other circumstances. Secondly I believe base don what I could see that he is still with ruff ryders.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)

Have you seen him drive? I have and he is a tragedy waiting to happen he drives like the Fast & Furious. My friend sent me a clip of his driving in NY.....if I ever see him in my rearview that'll be my warning to go to the Emergency Lane.He is a frequent speeder and ticket receiver.Yeah he rolls with RR still but just not on the label but youknow how rumors go..we'll see when he gets out of JAIL
DON'T TALK ABOUT IT:BE ABOUT IT
