Earl Simmons (born on December 18, 1970 in Baltimore, Maryland), better known by his stage name DMX rose to popularity in the late-1990s. He is the 6th highest selling rapper of all time, though notably never having a top 20 Hot 100 single. He is also the only artist in the U.S. to have five consecutive number one albums on the Billboard 200 Album chart to start a career.
