DMX recently revealed a more spiritual side of his persona during an interview with MTV, and says he has decided to go in the studio to complete his first-ever gospel-rap album.
According to the rapper, the album will not include the topics you usually hear from him. This one will be “without cursing — how ’bout that one?
“No songs about bitches, no songs about robbing, just straight ‘Give God the glory,’” he continued.
The gospel album is not the only news though. He will be dropping another album as well. In fact, the other album will be a second disc accompanying the gospel album, making it a double album. One disc is a straight hip-hop release, while the other was created with the Lord in mind.
“I [was] the first n—- to put out two albums in one year ['It's Dark and Hell Is Hot' and 'Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood' in 1998], now I’m gonna hit ‘em again — drop two albums on the same f—in’ day, yo,” X told MTV. “A double album will make motherf—ers mad, because they gotta spend more money — plus it’s already a long [double] album. I’m talking about a hip-hop album and a gospel album.”
The forthcoming album — that he says is titled “Walk With Me Now and You’ll Fly With Me Later” — will be released through indie label Bodog Music, which he recently inked a deal with.
