DMX’s posthumous album Exodus has been on everyone’s minds for the last few weeks.
The tracklist is a star-studded affair, boasting features from The Lox, Swizz Beatz, Jay-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Moneybagg Yo, and more. Pop Smoke was supposed to feature on “Money Money Money” but was swapped out for Moneybagg before Exodus dropped. The album was also done just weeks before DMX passed away in April, with Swizz telling Complex the whole project only took “two months” to make. “DMX doesn’t take long to make records,” Swizz continued. “As a producer, you have to know who your artist is, right? So for me to get things done with my brother, I knew we had to be in the studio at noon, and let him have the rest of his day at like 4:00 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. X doesn’t work well when it’s feeling like work. He works well when it’s fun and creative and easy. So, that’s our formula.”
