September 2024 ยท 1 minute read

While his death inspired many listeners to return to his eight studio albums, DMX continued to release music posthumously as well. The next month, Swizz Beatz released a song featuring DMX called, "Been to War," which Swizz Beatz said in an interview with UpRoxx was the last song he recorded with his friend before his death. The song would go on to be featured in the film, "Godfather Of Harlem," which Swizz Beatz said DMX was stoked about. 

In May, DMX released a full posthumous album, "Exodus," which was named after his son Exodus Simmons, per TMZ. Produced in part by Swizz Beatz, the eighth album from the leader of the Ruff Ryders crew departed from his prior releases by featuring other artists, including Jay-Z, Nas, and Alicia Keys. Although it's sometimes unclear what or who is driving the production of posthumous albums, Swizz Beatz told Vulture that DMX "wanted this album to come out," and was "excited about it."
