A posthumous album from late rapper DMX, titled Exodus, is set to release on May 28 via Def Jam Recordings.

Exodus will feature new songs and will be produced by DMX’s longtime collaborator Swizz Beatz. The record will mark the first DMX album for Def Jam since 2003’s Grand Champ.

“My brother X was one of the most pure and rare souls I’ve ever met,” Swizz said in a statement. “He lived his life dedicated to his family and music. Most of all, he was generous with his giving and loved his fans beyond measure.”

“This album, X couldn’t wait for his fans all around the world to hear and show just how much he valued each and every single person that has supported him unconditionally,” he added.

DMX died on April 9 after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 50.
