DMX has been released from a prison in Arizona after serving seven months for violating his probation. The rapper was incarcerated for the sixth time in the state of Arizona for drinking alcohol during a concert in Scottsdale last year.

DMX's release was delayed by one week due to failing to submit to a drug test. He was cited for rules infractions five other times during this stint behind bars.

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
