Following the tragic death of rap icon DMX, his home state has officially moved to declare a day in his honor. The New York State Senate will officially consider December 18, the late rapper's birthday, as DMX Day across the state.

The announcement came from community activists Priscilla Echi and Erica Ford during the rapper's Homegoing Celebration on Sunday, which aired live on BET. Unlike Saturday's celebration, streamed on Youtube and featuring appearances from Kanye West and his Sunday Service choir, Nas, Swizz Beatz, Eve, and more, Sunday's event was not open to the public. "Our New York State Senate has called December 18 Earl “DMX” Simmons Day,” Echi said during the service. “His lyrics were rapped on the Senate floor by Senator Jamal Bailey who introduced a resolution in his honor. He also has proclamations from Mayor Spano and Mayor Shawn Patterson Howard."
