A new documentary series is offering an intimate look at the private life of DMX through the voices of those who knew him best.

The former Death Row singer claims he has not received royalties since Snoop Dogg acquired the label and says Suge Knight treated artists better.

DJ Premier revealed that he encouraged a young Biggie Smalls to sign with Sean “Puff” Combs — and later struck a $5,000 handshake deal that paid off when Ready to Die went platinum.

Pete Rock shared how he unexpectedly discovered Jay-Z had recorded over one of his beats during sessions in Hawaii with Kanye West — forcing him to pull his car over mid-drive.

During a candid appearance on Drink Champs, Dame Dash revealed that Harlem lyricist Big L taped the early Jay-Z vs. DMX battle in the Bronx — and suggested that at least part of the footage once existed.

Appearing on Hot 97 Mornings with Mero, Roc Marciano discussed fully producing his new album 656, confronting hip-hop’s ageism and doubling down on the independent ecosystem he says grew from his blueprint.

During a candid appearance on My Expert Opinion, Teddy Riley reflected on the internal tensions that fractured Blackstreet at its peak.

More than 20 years after the Roc-A-Fella split, Dame Dash is again speaking publicly about Jay-Z.
