Five Finger Death Punch Hit Hard With Surprise DMX Collab Single ‘This Is the Way’

Five Finger Death Punch released the hard-hitting posthumous DMX collab single 'This Is the Way' on Friday (April 5) on the 'AfterLife' deluxe edition.

The song, “This Is the Way,” comes complete with a video directed by X’s longtime collaborator Hype Williams, which mixes black and white performance footage of FFDP with photos, cartoon images and memorial murals of DMX. The release did not mention when the DMX vocals were recorded, but Bathory added that the idea of a collab with the “X Gon Give It To Ya” MC had been “in discussion for years, and it was a long and winding road to turn this particular item on our wish list into reality. He was a lyrical warrior, a true original who spoke his mind incorruptibly.” The guitarist said the group had always considered DMX the “metalhead of hip-hop ” because of the rapper’s “aggressive, raw, and untamed” style.
