CERTIFIED. Every Monday Night.
Thanks for tuning into another episode of The Certified Platinum Show. This week, we dedicate our episode to Earl Simmons (DMX), who is reportedly in critical condition (at the time of recording). DMX is an individual in the hip-hop space that is synonymous with “reformation”. He endured a period of trials and tribulation, particularly involving drug usage. He began to turn his life to God and went on to proclaim God’s word.
