DMX‘s son, Exodus, has paid tribute to his late father with an adorable piano cover to one of X’s biggest hits.
The Yonkers legend’s fiancée, Desiree Lindstrom, posted the cut clip of Exodus playing the piano to the tune of “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” to Instagram on Thursday (June 8).

“Today, I’m gonna play a ‘Ruff Ryders’ Anthem’ and this is how it goes,” Exodus said before proceeding to mimic the tune of the ominous Swizz Beatz production.
The six-year-old added in a heart-melting close to the video prior to signing off: “I love you, daddy.”
Lindstrom captioned the post: “Y’all should of known it was coming … A small tribute to his daddy! #ForeverX @Dmx @therealswizzz.”
Plenty of eyes were left watering as followers showered Exodus with praise in the comment section. “That boy is gifted … like his father,” one person wrote, while another said: “I know your Dad would be so proud of you!”
“Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” was released in May 1998 and Swizz Beatz celebrated the 25th anniversary of the life-changing multi-platinum track last month.
“25yrs ago on this Day May 5th 1998 my life changed forever,” he wrote in his Instagram caption. “That’s how Ruff Ryders Roll! On May 5th 1998 Ruff Ryders Anthem dropped.
“Can you believe 25 years ago, DMX lit up our screens with his Mega talent !! @hiphop50 Long Live my brother @dmx !!!! Ruff Ryders for Life @waahdean @general_over_everything.”
DMX tragically passed away at the age of 50 from a drug-induced heart attack at White Plains Hospital in New York on April 9, 2021.
