Earl Simmons (1970-), more widely known by his stage name DMX, is a rapper and actor from Yonkers, New York. The name DMX was originally not an acronym, but simply part of a name taken from a popular drum machine of [[The Nineties]], the Oberheim DMX. However, the acronym has come to stand for "Dark Man of the Unknown (or [[Xtreme Kool Letterz|X]] for short)." |
