For the past few years DMX has been making headlines because of his legal problems, but his incarceration isn’t stopping him from working.

The Ruff Ryders rapper, DMX was sentenced to one year in prison at the end of March for his tax evasion case. X is NOT letting cell bars stand in the way of his success. Read on…

CelebNMusic247.com has learned that DMX sentence is way better that the five years the prosecutors wanted him to serve.

However, DMX will still be subject to pay $2.3M upon his release in 12 months.

HNHH reports:

X’s lawyer, Murray Richman, has said that the rapper is currently working on new music while simultaneously receiving offers from book deals to movies about his life, The Blast reports. He’s currently sitting in Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York but he’s waiting to get transferred FCI Danbury.

According to Richman, X is happy, looking good and is doing “remarkably well.”

His lawyer also says that he’s received over 600 pieces of fan mail letters for X since the verdict a few weeks a go and there coming from all over the world. However, X can only hear about what his fans say because it’s contraband in prison.

Overall, it looks like X’s current stint in prison might be working out for him better than anyone could have expected.

The good thing about Earl Simmons behind bars is that he is away from the bad influencers who keep feeding him the drug.
