DMX has told MTV he will quit the music industry after the release of his next album this summer – the reason – to spend more time with the bible. The rapper will continue to oversee his company Bloodline Group and continue his acting career, but he says religion will become a priority in his life: "I'm going into the church. I wanna take some time off – you know read my Bible and just get more into the word."
He also hopes to spend more time with his children: "I got kids, and one of my children is at that stage where you have to be around. He's eight months, and I don't wanna be a stranger to my children. That's more important to me than all this."
