DMX Gets Another Shot of Reality

No negative news or impending arrests to tell about today in the DMX files, but I do have somewhat of a positive story. The continuously troubled rapper will once again document his life in a new reality show titled DMX: This Life of Mine.

The show will follow DMX’s attempt to resolve a string of legal problems, which include six arrests since May of 2008, the most recent one occurring last week in Miami, Florida.

This Life of Mine will also feature DMX attempting to rehabilitate himself, as he simultaneously attempts to avoid being sent to prison for pending charges of possessing drug paraphernalia, possessing marijuana, animal cruelty charges and theft, for allegedly giving a fake name when he was treated at a Scottsdale hospital earlier this year.

When asked about his life, he responded, “In many ways, my life has been an open book,” DMX told AllHipHop.com in a statement. “[But] I haven’t always been the one writing the story. With this show; however, people will get to see and hear with their own eyes and ears what really goes on in my life and I think they’ll come to understand me a little bit better with each episode.”

DMX: This Life of Mine is being produced in conjunction with Phoenix, Arizona based After Platinum Entertainment. Which would explain why, of all places in the world, the rapper was constantly being picked up in the state of Arizona.

“After watching this show, people will come to realize that despite all the stories and all the rumors about me, despite how well they may think they know me, there is another side to DMX that they have never seen and hopefully, it will make people question what they see Rand hear about me in the future,” DMX told AllHipHop.com in a statement.DMX previously starred in his own reality show The Soul of a Man, which chronicled the troubled rapper’s life and legal problems.
