Accompanied by the roar of bikes of around 80 riders of the Ruff Ryders Motorcycle Club, fans of the late rapper DMX gathered Wednesday evening in a park in the city where he was born to pay tribute to his life by remembering his good works, singing songs and dancing together.
More than a thousand people converged on Fourth Street Park in Mount Vernon to remember the man who never forgot where home was and was never too famous to give a helping hand to the community that will always remember him.
DMX, whose real name was Earl Simmons, died at White Plains Hospital Friday after he was rushed there April 2 following a heart attack. He was 50 and leaves behind 15 children.
