According to guitarist
Zoltan Bathory, "The idea of collaborating with DMX had been in discussion for years, and it was a long and winding road to turn this particular item on our wish list into reality.”
He adds, “He was a lyrical warrior, a true original who spoke his mind incorruptibly. We have always viewed DMX as ‘the metalhead of hip-hop’ because of his aggressive, raw and untamed style. He growled and snarled, aiming to rattle some cages – an attitude we share, as Five Finger Death Punch has always been drawn to the fearless and the real.”
Sadly, DMX died at the age of 50 back in 2021, but his legacy continues with the rapper now turning up on "This Is the Way" from Five Finger Death Punch.
“It made all the sense in the world, but today this is more than just a song; it’s a salute to a legend, a way to honor DMX’s memory,” says Bathory.
