In the first trailer, Earl Simmons is seen navigating business meetings, a tour, and family life, with never-before-seen footage and conversations with DMX and those closest to him.
“My goal is to be an inspiration to someone that I don’t know,” says X, who died in April at age 50.
The documentary, described as an “eye-opening portrait of DMX, a man struggling with addiction, fame, and his inner demons in the final years of his life,” is part of the Music Box Series, a collection of films created by Bill Simmons exploring pivotal moments in the music world. An upcoming episode will also feature the late Juice WRLD.
