UPDATE: Done. Props to Jason.

Hopefully this sticks. With their independent compilation album already out, DMX tells TMZ the label’s CEO Waah Dean has already started booking venues across the country. EVE and the Lox have not officially signed on yet, but Swizz Beatz and Drag-On are already onboard. X says:

“We are all family and we’re going to come back stronger than when we left … It’s going to take the nation by storm.”

On a related note, DMX will hit the S.O.B.’s stage on February 23rd. We’ll be there. Purchase tickets here.

We recently caught footage of DMX and Machine Gun Kelly working in studio late last year. During Dark Man X’s performance at Agenda’s DGK after-party last night in Long Beach, MGK joined him on-stage to debut the final product. Expect the collab to appear on DMX’s Undisputed album arriving in March.

During the same show, DMX was attacked by a fan onstage which you can watch after the jump….

Some moron tries to grab X around the throat, security promptly snatches him up and X barks on the DJ for daring to stop the music. Classic Earl.

Previously: Lil Wayne & DMX @ LIV Nightclub

X has been popping up all over the place with a new energy to him. Following his appearance in Miami with Lil Wayne, DMX spit some new bars a capella. He really brings out that straight outta Yonkers X. This reminds me of his legendary “Who Shot Ya” freestyle.

Update: further research shows this is recycled rhyme. I feel duped.

Happy new year everybody! I know we’ve been reflecting on the year that was 2011 but let’s take some time out to look ahead into 2012. Here’s my predictions and hopes for the next 12 months. Plus check out my previous list to see if any of my thoughts came true in ’11 (If you commented on my last list you can see if yours were correct too).

All the best for 2012 ya’ll!

Predications:

• More rappers will diss Drake
• Nas, Slaughterhouse, Rick Ross, & Raekwon will drop solid albums
• Rick Ross will get fatter and richer. Mainly richer.
• Wayne will put out Rebirth 2 to the horror of music fans around the world
• Fat Joe will bring out a fitness DVD
• Dark Knight Rises will be fuckin’ epic and rappers will start referencing Batman again
• Since getting dissed by Tyler, B.o.B. will come harder on the mic with his next album
• Someone from Young Money/Cash Money will get dropped and start dissing Wayne and Birdman
• Kreayshawn will be forgotten about before the end of the year
• Gucci Mane and DMX go back to jail
• Nas and Tyler, the Creator will put out several tracks together

Hopes:

• T.I. puts out an album more like Paper Trail and less like No Mercy
• T.I. stays out of jail for good this time around
• If T.I. goes back to jail he doesn’t make up lame excuses about why he’s in there
• A Rihanna sex tape surfaces
• Pornstars stop making music. Here’s looking at you Brian Pumper.
• Slaughterhouse will sell a few hundred thousand units.
• Ludacris gets back to his roots
• We don’t lose any more music icons this year
• People appreciate musical acts before they pass on. (Go on, listen to some Bill Withers. Life is short.)
• CD’s don’t get fazed out
• Xzibit makes a comeback. (Get Dre on the phone)
• A decent rap battle breaks out (rap battle on the mic not on the street)
• Verbose comes back to the ‘Fro
• The trend of sequel albums dies out

Again, feel free to add your own hopes and predictions.
