DMX - Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood (Explicit) (Limited Edition Blood Splatter Vinyl) (2 LP)

Celebrate the 15th Anniversary of DMX's 2nd studio album 'Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood' with the blood splatter vinyl edition on 2LPs. This classic has been out of print on vinyl since 2003 and is being reactivated for it's 15 year Anniversary.

DMX's 2nd studio album 'Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood' was released within 7 months of his debut record 'It's Dark And Hell Is Hot,' and reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart making DMX the second rapper to have two albums released in the same calendar year debut at number one (Tupac being the first). This classic has been certified 3X platinum by the RIAA and continues to be one of the most influential albums in hip-hop.

Get at me dog! DMX returns with his sophomore album, FLESH OF MY FLESH BLOOD OF MY BLOOD, a sixteen cut collection of tracks that scream with energy and vocal prowess. In a move that bucks the trend of collaboration-heavy albums, FLESH OF MY FLESH BLOOD OF MY BLOOD, has only a few strategically placed collaborations. The Lox and Jay-Z drop science on "Blackout," while Mary J. Blige adds her smooth R&B touch to "Coming From." Perhaps the most improbable pairing is on "The Omen," which features Shock-turned-Glam Rocker Marilyn Manson. The track uses a sample from the famous horror movie of the same name from the late 1970's. Various producers including Swizz Beatz ("It's All Good"), PK and Dame Grease ("Dogs For Life") handle the beats, which range from street hard to jazzy smooth. Overall, DMX never fails to deliver the goods.

Personnel includes: DMX, Swizz Beatz, Drag-On, The Lox, Jay-Z (rap vocals); Mary J. Blige, Marilyn Manson, Tamyra Grey (vocals); Rich Keller (guitar, keyboards, bass).
