DMX: Soul of a Man Comes to a Dramatic Conclusion - Finale Wednesday, August 16 @ 9:30 PM ET/PT on BET

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT: In the most powerful episode yet, the season finale
of DMX: SOUL OF A MAN takes viewers inside the mind
of X as he hits the lowest point of his life. Unable
to discover his purpose on earth, X announces his
thoughts of committing suicide, "I have a beautiful
wife, beautiful kids, and a career. I'm still not
happy. I don't know what my purpose is." When X and
Tashira stop for gas they have an inspiring moment.
They run into a woman who shares a very heartfelt
story with them. She explains that she lost three
children and X's music helped her heal and overcome
the pain of her loss. Touched by her story, X
declares that rapping is something he is blessed to
do and will do forever. As the series comes to an
end, it appears that X has finally come out of the
darkness and into a positive light as viewers glimpse
the soul of a man.
