DMX Returns with Posthumous Single “Bring Out The Worst” Featuring Joyner Lucas

On the 27th anniversary of It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot, iconic rapper DMX roars back with a new single, “Bring Out The Worst,” featuring Joyner Lucas. Released via DNA Music Group/Hitmaker Distro, the track honors X’s unshakable legacy with the gritty power and raw emotion that defined his career.

Pairing DMX’s unmistakable growl with Joyner’s sharp lyricism, “Bring Out The Worst” is the first drop from DMX Features, a posthumous collection of unreleased collaborations slated for release this summer. The project aims to celebrate X’s lasting impact on hip-hop and his enduring relevance across generations.

Initially released in 1998, It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned 4x Platinum status, launching DMX into rap superstardom and setting the tone for a five-album streak of chart-toppers. “Bring Out The Worst” channels that same ferocity, capturing the unfiltered spirit that made DMX a cultural force.
