First we had the emphatic inclusion of DarkMan X in the Jadakiss “Who’s Real”, closing out the Ruff Ryders Reunion Remix. Then, him and Ja Rule squashing their aged beef at the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors. We see Swizz Beatz telling Sway that things are looking up, and today, we receive Mark “Return of the Mack” Morrison’s new single, “Innocent Man”, featuring…. wait….. wait for it….. DMX!
It’s not a bad look. We’re hopeful.
