Ruff Ryders To Host DMX Memorial

It's been two years since the world received the heartbreaking news of DMX's passing.  In April of 2021, the beloved rapper suffered a fatal heart attack and passed away surrounded by family at White Plains Hospital. The Ruff Ryders have announced an event in his honor, an "NYC Ryde Out". A save-the-date flyer was shared on the official Ruff Ryders Instagram account with the caption "On April 9th please join the Ruff Ryders Family as we celebrate and remember our brother DMX and all our fallen Soldiers with our NYC Ryde Out!".




A "Celebration of Life Memorial" was previously held for Earl Simmons on April 24th, 2021. Close friends and family gathered at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to send the rapper off in love. Hours before the service, X's casket was transported in a monster truck that read "Long Live DMX" on the side. The Ruff Ryders bike crew followed behind in numbers in a sentimental yet action-packed scene. Whereas his memorial service was limited to family due to Covid-19, the crew invites the public out to celebrate their fallen soldier.
