Yes, so DMX - not his real name - is going to release a double album, half of which will apparently be a gospel set.

"The same title is gonna be on both albums, but on one album one part [of the title] is gonna be [highlighted]. On the other album, the other name is gonna be [highlighted]," he explains.

Gotcha. Hard to know who the gospel songs will appeal to, really. I'd have thought gospel music fans might be slightly resistant to DMX, whose rap sheet reads a bit like an encyclopaedia of crime; while his core hip-hop fanbase probably won't be too bothered about hearing him crooning to The Almighty. Maybe this quandary is why he has his fingers crossed.

But, as with most things DMX - who, by the way, is definitely not a crackhead - it should at least be diverting. Let's celebrate with some classic DMX, "X Gon' Give It To Ya", wherein Mr. Simmons sounds a bit like a rapping dog, as usual.
