DMX, the gravel-voiced rapper and actor who topped the charts with tracks including "Party Up" and "X Gon’ Give It to Ya," has died at age 50, his family said Friday in a statement.
The rapper, whose real name was Earl Simmons, had a heart attack on April 2, according to his lawyer, Murray Richman. He was immediately hospitalized in grave condition.
"Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end," his family said in the statement. "He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him."
White Plains Hospital confirmed that DMX passed away "peacefully with family present after suffering a catastrophic cardiac arrest."
DMX broke onto the rap scene in 1998 with his first studio album, "It’s Dark and Hell Is Hot." The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, powered by hits such as "Ruff Ryders' Anthem," "Get At Me Dog" and "Stop Being Greedy."
He achieved more success with the albums "...And Then There Was X," "Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood," "The Great Depression" and "Grand Champ" — all of which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart.
DMX released seven albums and earned three Grammy nominations.
