DMX is out on bond in his tax evasion case, but isn't making it easy for the judge not to throw him in jail.
TMZ reports that the multi-platinum rapper, real name Earl Simmons, got an earful when he showed up for his bond hearing on Friday, August 11, 30 minutes late.
He's allegedly failed four drug tests for cocaine and marijuana. In addition, X violated another condition of his bond by leaving New York City to take care of some family matters in St. Louis, without getting court permission first.
As a result he's been placed on house arrest and must wear an ankle monitor.
DMX is currently facing 14 counts of evading more than $1 million in federal taxes. If convicted he could be sentenced to 44 years in federal prison.

G Herbo is 21-years-old, and that might shock you. For several years, he’s been one of the biggest names on Chicago’s music scene, stealing the show on Nicki Minaj’s “ChiRaq” back in 2014 after already becoming a nationally recognized product of the city’s drill uprising as Lil’ Herb. In the latest episode of “Open Space,” Herbo speaks on the horrors of growing up in “Terror City,” working hard to be a leader and not a follower, his faith and more.
“I was catching blessings when I didn’t die and go to jail,” starts Herbo, as he discusses his spirituality. “Those were blessings from God. It wasn’t me, finessing, nothing. Those was real blessings.” Herbo grew up in a place known as Terror Town, a neighborhood on Chicago’s South side, and the things he witnessed there as a youth play a prominent role in his lyrical content.
That’s evidenced clearly by the first single off Herbo’s upcoming debut album, ‘Humble Beast,’ dropping this summer. “Red Snow” is a painstaking description of Chicago’s winters, which aren’t frigid enough to cool the streets down. “They stealin’, robbin’, living heartless, never hit their target/ The summer’s long and winter’s harsh ‘cause we got red snow,” he raps on the song’s chorus.
Herbo’s journey to his full-length debut has been long, and it hasn’t come without lessons. Watch him divulge some of them in his “Open Space” interview below.

For this episode of Rhythm Roulette, MASS APPEAL met up with one of Atlanta's most influential producers, London On Da Track. As a mainstay of the Atlanta production world, London has played an instrumental role in the development of Young Thug's career, crafting some of the greatest hits in the enigmatic Atlien's catalogue. His time with Thugger has blessed the world with standouts such as "Lifestyle," "About Da Money" and "Check." Let’s also not forget London's work with other Atlanta heavyweights, as he was the mastermind behind 21 Savage and Drake's collab "Sneakin'" as well as countless bangers with artists like French Montana, Gucci Mane, Birdman, 2 Chainz and many others.
Helping to define the soundscape coming out of Atlanta, who knows what the sound of trap music would be without London? True to his discography, London decided to bring the trap to Rhythm Roulette. In that spirit, he took his chances, pulling three records from A1 Records in New York.
London ended up with Phyllis Hyman's "Living All Alone," Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Blacknuss" and a house record from Jesse Saunders. Making quick decisions, London ends up sampling Rahsaan Roland Kirk's cover of Marvin Gaye's classic "What's Going On."
