Born in Baltimore, Maryland, DMX relocated early in his childhood to Yonkers, a city justnorth of New York City. He spent much time on the streets committing crimes. However, he considered hiphop to be an escape from his hard times, as he enjoyed beatboxing, turntablism, and eventually rapping. As a teenager, Simmons was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.[sup][2][/sup] and spent much of his adolescence in and out of jail
