Release Notes:

"I don't make music to make songs," says the record-breaking hip-hop
icon DMX, "I make music to record my life."

DMX, the legendary Ruff Ryder who's sold 20 million albums, is back
in the saddle with his eagerly-awaited sixth solo outing, Year Of
The Dog Again, his previous album, 2003's Grand Champ, made him the
only artist in the history of the Billboard Top 200 to have his first
five albums debut consecutively at #1. Beyond iconic, DMX has been
the voice of the hood since he first burst onto the scene as a
representative of the street movement and record label Ruff Ryders.

As hip-hop is assimilated into the cultural mainstream, it's time for
the long overdue and much needed return of rap's prophetic visionary,
DMX.

"Working with The Dog in 2006 is truly a blessing," said Swizz Beatz.
"The Dog is focused. Any anyone who thought The Dog was gone better
put their head between their legs and kiss their ass goodbye. He's
looking better than ever, sounding better than ever, and creating
better than ever. Swizz Beatz plus Ruff Ryders plus DMX equals
history."

Pulling no punches and making no excuses, DMX tears into his
blistering new songs with all the powers at his command on Year Of
The Dog Again reconnects hip-hop with the righteous moral complexity
and unflinching honesty of its roots. When asked about the current
state of hip-hop, DMX is blunt about the so-called competition. "No
one is saying anything," he exclaims. "It's not rap, it's crap. There
is no soul. I refuse to conform to the norm."

The groundbreaking new album Year Of The Dog Again includes the
single "Lord Give Me A Sign," as well as the blazin' track "We In
Here."
