The Universal Hip Hop Museum plans to honor late rapper DMX when the museum opens. Paradise Gray, Chief Curator and Hip-Hop historian, described DMX as a talented musician, poet, and actor. The museum curators will capture the essence of the artist’s work within the four walls of the museum.

“If Tupac was the heart of hip-hop, DMX was the soul. DMX was that realness, that grittiness, he didn’t create the grittiness of DMX to rap. That’s who he was,” said Gray in a video shared by Bronx News12.
