DMX Explains New Jail Sentence

On Monday, troubled rapper DMX turned himself in to Los Angeles Metropolitan Court for a reckless driving charge he incurred back in 2002.

"What's going on today is that I'm going to turn myself in," X said in a taped interview before appearing in court. "Me and my crew, we came to the conclusion that would be best. It was something that happened years ago, a driving infraction."

In the interview, the Yonkers emcee explained that his decision to turn himself in is a positive step towards rehabilitation.

"It's one of the first steps in regaining everything I lost," he continued.
Though DMX has a long history of legal troubles and drug abuse, he said that his "relationship with God" has helped him to get back on his feet.

"My relationship with God has gotten so much stronger," he explained. "He's always had his hand on me. He always guided me. I didn't always go where he wanted me to go. But he always had me. Now that I'm actually listening and being obedient, life is so much better."

According to his lawyer, X is expected to serve a maximum of 90 days, as part of his plea bargain

If after this DMX goes to jail one more time, I wont even look at more news from him.. This has got to be some kind of record for an artist!

Ha...yeah. For the past 10 years I've been reading articles like this. And with every album release, he says the albums are more like his 1st...and they just aren't. I can accept that he's not gonna do another It's Dark and Hell Is Hot...but his production just hasn't been consistent in a long time.
