Many fans became extremely excited when they heard news of a new album, titled Redemption of the Beast, being released by DMX in the near future; however, sadly that turned out to be false as the album news was nothing more than a hoax.  The faulty work actually featured a tracklist which turned out to be from stolen music that X has actually recorded.  DMX was unaware that news of the fake album was surfing the 'Net, and was very disappointed to learn that someone, most likely close to him, stole his work and may potentially release it to the public.  His publicist Domenick Nati released a statement addressing the drama:

"I spoke to DMX today and he was unaware of the upcoming announcement of the Redemption Of The Beast album.  When I read him the projected track list of songs to be released X said, 'that's all stolen music'. DMX and myself are highly disappointed that trust was broken and that these songs may be released and sold without X's knowledge or consent. DMX and Swizz Beatz are working on an album together and fans should look to their official social media accounts for accurate information."

Famous super-producer Swizz Beatz also bashed the fake album publicly on Instagram in a series of passionate posts.  He called for people to show respect to DMX's work, and assured fans that they are in fact working on a new album which will be amazing once it's completed.
