Summary

In this riveting episode of ​People’s Party with Talib Kweli​, the legend DMX sits with Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh for his first interview since his Verzuz battle with Snoop Dogg. The wide-ranging conversation goes into X’s history in hip-hop and its link to his drug addiction, rapping for music mogul Lyor Cohen with his jaw wired shut, his lifelong connection to dogs, and his faith. The episode ends with DMX delivering a prayer that’s every bit as powerful as one of his (many) hit records.
