After spending much of his youth in group homes, the chance that DMX would become a star in any field (except perhaps in the field of criminal activity) seemed remote. Against all odds, DMX found his way out of poverty and into success. But, as readers of "DMX" will learn, he"s not always been able to leave behind his problems with the legal community.
