DMX is pulling out all of the stops for his upcoming album.
A few weeks ago, DMX announced that Pop Smoke and Griselda will be featured on his upcoming album. Now, DMX is spilling the beans while on the Drink Champs podcast, about other artists that will be featured on his project.
“I got Lil Wayne. I got Snoop. I got the LOX. I got Bono… the U2 nigga,” X said when asked who will be featured on his upcoming project.

When asked about how the Bono feature came about, he gave the credit to Swizz Beats, calling him a “magician.” Alicia Keys and Usher are also set to appear on the project as well. X sounded particularly excited about the song with Usher, asking his team if he was allowed to play a snippet of it.
“It’s called ‘Letter To My Son,’” explains X. “When I first did it, the only issue was the piano. Then my man, Ryan King Joseph, he play the violin. It was just piano on the song, and I never did a song with one instrument before. It came out crazy, it hits you. And then I heard [Joseph’s] work, and put him on the joint. The Bono joint is ‘Skyscrapers.’ Shit’s crazy. It got a Miami feel to it. I feel like I want to shoot the video here!” He closes the hype session by marveling at Bono’s bridge — “all muthafuckas need to do is listen to it, and we good.”
