(AllHipHop News) Famous Rap star DMX is officially a free man, as the
rapper was released from prison in Yuma, Arizona today (July 19th).
The
rapper was greeted by a small group of friends and family upon his
release today.
Sources close to DMX told AllHipHop.com that his
first stop would be a visit to his probation officer, followed by a
shopping trip.
Then, DMX is slated to take up residency in an
unknown area of the state.
"I spoke to my daughter, I just got
off the phone with my wife," DMX told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive
interview. "I'm going to go see my daughter while the sun is up then I'm
going to be in the studio man."
DMX, born Earl Simmons, was
originally sentenced to one year in prison in December of 2010, after he
violated his probation by refusing to submit to a drug test and other
minor infractions.
He served seven months of the prison sentence,
after being given credit for the 100 days he spent incarcerated
awaiting trial.
“Our goal is to keep DMX on the right track, and
get him back to work,” a member of DMX's inner circle told
AllHipHop.com.
According to sources, DMX is currently lining up a
number of shows and fielding offers for television, movie and recording
projects.
Reps for DMX confirmed that he was in serious
negotiations with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group, although an official
offer has yet to be made.
DMX is being managed by Built For War
Management/UMMG (United Music & Media Group), while his bookings are
handled by mailto:bookdmx@gmail.com - Carl "Blacksmif" Smith.
"Earl
has so much more to offer the world. His latest project has been on
hold for so long! It is now time for X to redefine the world of Hip-Hop
with his highly anticipated album of inspirational, painful & street
accredited rhymes. It is time to let the Dog out of the kennel," added
his manager Nakia Walker.
