On May 28th, Def Jam Recordings, a division of UMG Recordings Inc., released Exodus, the posthumous album from DMX. It has thirteen tracks: two skits, a prayer and a lot of features.

Listening to most of the songs on this project made me think that X knew he was going to die, and as such, he was delivering his final sermon to his congregation. The most captivating tune and the one that I have on repeat is Skycrapers, track number-six; a collaboration done with Bono, who truly blessed it. “I just wanna be heard / f*ck the fame / my words will live forever / f*ck my name.” that’s a quote from Skycrapers.
