Exodus, out Friday, May 28th.
“Hood Blues” was co-produced by Avenue Beatz and DMX’s frequent collaborator over the years, Swizz Beatz, who crafted a sparse but sinister beat laced with a lurking flute loop and DMX’s own menacing growl. All three Griselda rappers deliver fittingly ruthless verses while DMX closes out the song with a run of bars that are both ferocious and poignant: “I’m not the average motherfucker/Do damage cause I’m a savage/Sometimes I can’t manage all the shit in my attic/I was promised the world but I got the dirt instead.”
