DMX has reportedly been freed from prison Tuesday (July 19) after getting sentenced to a year behind bars last December.

X became a free man early Tuesday, leaving a Yuma, Arizona prison.

The rapper was greeted by a small group of friends and family upon his release today. Sources close to DMX told AllHipHop.com that his first stop would be a visit to his probation officer, followed by a shopping trip. Then, DMX is slated to take up residency in an unknown area of the state. “I spoke to my daughter, I just got off the phone with my wife,” DMX told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. “I’m going to go see my daughter while the sun is up then I’m going to be in the studio man.” (All Hip Hop)
