Should we call it a comeback? Last night VH1 taped this years Hip Hop Honors celebrating 25 years of Def Jam but the guy above is the performance we’re most excited about. With a new Ruff Ryders video and a few guest verses, could this be the return of DMX?

The rapper graced the stage and did a few classics including ‘Party Up In Here’ which sent the crowd into a frenzy. Could the dark man, plagued for the past few years but drug-related arrests, really be clean and sober and ready to return?

Take a listen to a new track (produced of course by SWIZZ BEATS) that leaked yesterday and you tell me.

DMX (Prod by Swizz Beats) It Ain’t My Fault
