A public memorial for DMX will be held at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Saturday, April 24th, the rapper’s manager confirmed to TMZ.
The specifics of the public memorial have yet to be determined, as the Covid-19 protocols and attendance limitations will keep the event more intimate than its arena setting. Indoor venues like Barclays are currently allowed 10% of their capacity.
Details regarding who will appear and how tickets can be purchased have also not been announced yet. A private funeral service for the rapper will take place at a New York City-area church the following day, Sunday, April 25th, TMZ reports.

In just a few weeks, more than a dozen states across the eastern United States will be awash in billions upon billions of cicadas. After spending almost two decades underground, the collection of bugs that researchers have dubbed “Brood X” will take to the treetops for a once-in-their-lifetime, cacophonous sexfest.
But while Brood X once appeared in New York, northern New Jersey and Connecticut, this spring may be cicada-free.
In the early 90s, we didn’t have Starbucks and
Pearl Jam was still known as Mookie Blaylock. Huh? We didn’t use the Internet for everything (yet), and AOL was king. Google wasn’t even invented until 1998 (though didn’t officially become a verb until 2006); instead, we had Ask Jeeves, Alta Vista, Netscape, Lycos, Earthlink, MindSpring, or Yahoo (among others) to search the mysterious, new World Wide Web.
We also saw the birth of email, or Email, or e-mail, or E-mail; yes, it took a while until we settled on a universally accepted spelling for the abbreviation for electronic mail. AOL Instant Messenger was the first chat-like service to exist in the mainstream and it was life-changing. We could chat friends and make plans to go to happy hour after work right from our work computers without ever picking up the phone. We loved it.
Many fled NYC, some moved to Capital Region, address-change data show | The Daily Gazette

CAPITAL REGION The anecdotal evidence was there all along: People left COVID hot spots for the relative safety of the Capital Region in 2020.
There were more out-of-state license plates in parking lots; driveways with more cars in them; new faces out for a walk in the neighborhood; downstate residents buying Capital Region houses.
Now, the Capital District Regional Planning Commission has quantified some of the shift. Using U.S. Postal Service data on change-of-address requests, it found a significant number of New York City-area residents moving to the larger Capital Region counties.
