50 Cent to Produce Podcast Hosted by Jadakiss Exploring DMX’s Life Story

50 Cent’s G-Unit Audio is set to produce a podcast exploring the life story of DMX, which will be hosted by Jadakiss, according to Deadline.

Look Thru My Eyes: Becoming DMX is reportedly slated to arrive later this year as a collaboration between G-Unit Audio and iHeartRadio Podcasts.

The ferocious Yonkers, New York, native — who former Def Jam president Lyor Cohen credits with saving the label — exploded onto the scene as one of rap’s biggest stars just before the turn of the century, and became the face of the Ruff Ryders movement.

“DMX’s story is bigger than the music — it’s about survival, faith, pain, and purpose,” 50 said in a statement. “Look Thru My Eyes: Becoming DMX gives people a chance to understand where X came from, before the fame, through the voices of the people who were really there. This is the story that shaped the legend.”

50 confirmed plans for the podcast with a post to his Instagram. “More heat coming your way,” he wrote.

Bruce Miller and Justin Baez are on board as executive producers of the project. The duo has ties to DMX’s family, and both were raised in the rapper’s hometown. “DMX’s story is inseparable from Yonkers, and his legacy is the lifeblood of hip-hop,” Miller said in a statement.

X survived homelessness and persevered through plenty of life obstacles to reach rap stardom, and his rugged snarl became part of hip-hop’s DNA.

His first five albums topped the Billboard 200, and he had a scorching 1998, a year that saw him score a pair of No. 1 albums (It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood).

Later in life, DMX continued to battle addiction, and the rap legend died at 50 from a drug-induced heart attack in April 2021.

Look Thru My Eyes: Becoming DMX is reportedly the first of what will become a series of podcasts exploring the lives of several music stars.
