HIP HOP NEWS: DMX Signs New Deal

With his Def Jam Records contract recently expiring, multi-platinum Hip Hop superstar DMX has inked a record deal with burgeoning label Bodog Music.

DMX is currently preparing his debut album on Bodog Music, titled Walk With Me Now and You'll Fly Later. Longtime collaborator Swizz Beatz will provide production, while members of the Ruff Ryders roster will make guest appearances.

On it's way to becoming a force in the industry, Bodog Music is a division of Bodog Entertainment. Apart from a recording label, the media company also produces the mixed-martial arts program Bodog Fight, the worldwide Bodog Battle of the Bands competition and an online poker league.

In addition to DMX, Bodog Music's artist roster also includes Wu-Tang Clan, Warren G, Billy Idol, Fall From Grace and others.
