As the world collectively mourns the loss of a Hip-Hop titan DMX, From The Vault is back this week with his beloved collaboration with R&B princess Aaliyah.
Today’s pick is ‘Come Back in One Piece.’
Produced by Irv Gotti and based on a Parliament sample of ‘Sir Nose D’Voidoffunk,’ the song sees the singer urging her boyfriend to be careful while he’s running the streets — though he does little to reassure her.
The track was released as the third single from the soundtrack to the movie ‘Romeo Must Die’ – which both artists starred in.
The song charted at #36 of the Billboard Hip-Hop/R&B charts and has been praised for being a successful common ground for two artists with seemingly opposite styles.
Its video was directed by Little X and was shot in DMX’s hometown of Yonkers and Mount Vernon in New York.
The duo served “hood love” and played up the track’s lyrics hanging out in gloomy hallways, walking big dogs, and engaging in street antics.
For many, this is a timeless audio-visual piece that captures the otherworldly energy and aura of two of the most inspiring artists of modern times.
This week, we lost a tremendous talent, one whose legendary status is unquestionable. Indeed, DMX has been a pillar of the culture for decades and will most definitely continue to be.
We find solace in knowing his passing will encourage the younger generation – who might not be familiar with his back catalog – to dig in the vault and let X give it to ‘em.
Legends never die, they continue to live on and inspire.
DMX, we salute you and we thank you.

Demi Lovato has cause for celebration.

Yesterday was bittersweet for Tashera Simmons, the ex-wife of DMX. Because while it brought with it her 50th birthday, the occasion arrived one day after the father of her four children died at the same age.
As widely reported, the MC had suffered a heart attack (allegedly as the result of an overdose) and lay in a coma for almost a week. He sadly did not make it.
Joining the masses in honoring the man she was married to from 1999 to 2014, Tashera shared a bittersweet message.

Kid Cudi took center stage on Saturday Night Live and made quite the visual statement.
For, while performing his song ‘Sad People,’ the performer donned a floral dress.
The track, which is lifted from Cudi’s latest album ‘Man on the Moon III: The Chosen,’ unpacks the thoughts that plague at night and the quest for inner peace. Over the course of the cut, he relays the highs that he experiences, and how he often finds himself depressed after. It deals with pressing on, even if it’s at the expense of his mental health.
Ever an envelope pusher, watch Cudi in action after the jump…
