DMX’s son Exodus has honored his father’s memory with a heartwarming piano cover of one of DMX’s most iconic hits. In a touching video shared by DMX’s fiancée, Desiree Lindstrom, on Instagram, the six-year-old showcases his talent by playing the piano to the tune of “Ruff Ryders‘ Anthem.”
Exodus begins the video by introducing his performance, saying, “Today, I’m gonna play a ‘Ruff Ryders‘ Anthem’ and this is how it goes.” With his tiny hands gliding over the keys, he skillfully recreates the melody of the renowned Swizz Beatz production. As the clip concludes, Exodus delivers a heart-melting message, saying, “I love you, daddy.”
Lindstrom, in her caption, shares the emotional significance of the tribute, stating, “Y’all should have known it was coming… A small tribute to his daddy! #ForeverX @Dmx @therealswizzz.”
The touching piano cover left many eyes brimming with tears as followers showered Exodus with praise in the comment section. One person wrote, “That boy is gifted… like his father,” while another expressed, “I know your Dad would be so proud of you!”
“Ruff Ryders’ Anthem,” released in May 1998, holds immense cultural significance. Swizz Beatz, the producer behind the track, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, acknowledging the transformative impact it had on his life and the music industry as a whole. In an Instagram caption, Swizz Beatz wrote, “Can you believe 25 years ago, DMX lit up our screens with his Mega talent!! Long Live my brother DMX! Ruff Ryders for Life.”
The loss of DMX at the age of 50 due to a drug-induced heart attack on April 9, 2021, left a void in the music world. However, his legacy lives on through his son Exodus, who continues to embody his father’s spirit through his musical abilities.
To further delve into DMX’s life and cultural impact, a new documentary titled “TMZ NO BS: DMX” was released on Tubi in May, providing an in-depth exploration of the legendary rapper’s journey.
Exodus’s piano tribute serves as a beautiful testament to the enduring love and connection between a father and son, reminding us of the profound impact DMX had on both his family and fans worldwide.
