Five years older than him. Said I would outlive him. Still feels strange now that he passed.

Rest in peace DMX.

Man...I loved DMX growing up. One of the best artists of our time. It breaks my heart to see him die like this knowing the demons he had to battle and knowing how hard he fought these demons. He was looking like he was doing well as well. Man.....Rest in paradise KING.
