A week back, VH1 announced that it would be airing a new season of their excellent Behind the Music series, kicking off the new season on June 7th by spotlighting Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Courtney Love, Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez. Now, there are a few more names added to the roster. According to a press release, the new season will begin with an episode spotlighting DMX, with plans to also air ones that focus on Eve and Usher. Peep the description for DMX’s ep:
“Behind The Music: DMX” will trace the multi-platinum rapper’s journey from his rough childhood where violent beatings from his mother led to a life of crime and jail time, to becoming one of the most successful hip hop artists of today. Viewers will get an in-depth look at DMX’s battle to the top of the music charts, becoming the first hip-hop artist to have five consecutive records debut at number one and crossing over into a lucrative movie career. For the first time on camera, DMX comes clean about his criminal record, love life and his 25 year-long struggle with drug addiction. Candid interviews with his family, ex-wife, and hip hop luminaries Lyor Cohen, Irv Gotti, Swizz Beatz and Eve contribute to this in-depth profile of an incredibly gifted yet troubled artist.”
