A mural was unveiled Tuesday morning in Yonkers, New York commemorating hometown hero and late rapper DMX.
According to the City of Yonkers on Twitter, the mural was commissioned by the Yonkers Art coalition to restore an existing mural after local fans specifically asked for a DMX memorial. It was designed and completed by New York artist Floyd Simmons and features lyrics from X’s songs “School Street” and “Look Thru My Eyes.”
Ruff Ryders CEO Darrin Dee Dean and X’s fiancée, Desiree Lindstrom, were both in attendance at the mural’s unveiling near the Calcagno Homes housing complex on South Street, where X once lived. Lindstrom is also the mother of X’s five-year-old son, Exodus.
