 Sydney, AU (Sony BMG Music Entertainment) - Record-breaking hip hop icon DMX has signed with Sony Urban/Columbia Records for this eagerly anticipated sixth solo album, 'Year Of The Dog... Again'. The album will be his first since 2003's 'Grand Champ', the record that made him the only artist in the history of the Billboard Top 200 to have his first five albums debut consecutively at No 1! "2006 is a new beginning for me," said DMX. "Starting fresh with a new label and a new sound. I don't make music to make songs, I make music to record my life. Sony Music was the first company to ever pay me for that and it feels good to have my career come full circle by being back home, where I started." DMX worked on a new single with fellow Ruff Ryder/production mastermind Swizz Beatz (who's been on-board DMX's entire career as well as producing smash tracks for a hip hop elite including Eve, Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Mary J. Blige, Lil' Kim and Destiny's Child). "Working with the dog in 2006 is truly a blessing," said Swizz Beatz. "The dog is focused. And 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." Look out for DMX's album 'Year Of The Dog... Again' hitting you in June this year...
