FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DMX / Fear of Water Remix of “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” Hits #17 on the SMR 50 This Week After 6 Weeks on the Charts!
Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that the explosive remix collaboration “DMX & Fear of Water – X Gon’ Give It To Ya” continues its upward momentum, hitting #17 on the SMR 50 this week after six consecutive weeks on the charts!
Since its premiere on February 12, 2025, the official video has already surpassed 121,401 views on YouTube, capturing fans across the globe with its hard-hitting fusion of DMX’s iconic vocal energy and Fear of Water’s genre-defying sonic power.
This powerful reimagining—released via Cleopatra Records—was brought to life by multi-instrumentalist and producer Dave Perry, the creative force behind Fear of Water. Known for his innovative collaborations and defiant spirit, Perry delivers a remix that channels the raw aggression of the original track through a heavy rock lens, bridging two musical worlds in an unforgettable way.
“DMX always had a metal energy in his voice, so this collaboration felt very organic,” says Perry. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to breathe new life into such a classic, bad-ass song. I wish we could make an entire album together!”
The track is also making moves on the Mediabase Activator Chart, climbing to #30 this week, and follows a string of chart successes for Fear of Water, including:
“Codependent Parasites” featuring Elias Soriano of Nonpoint, which peaked at #10 on the SMR Chart
“Systemic” featuring Aaron Nordstrom of Gemini Syndrome, which peaked at #7 on the SMR Chart
Born clinically deaf, Dave Perry has defied expectations and turned music into both a tool for healing and a platform for creative exploration. With Eric Emery on mixing duties, the “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” remix delivers a masterclass in modern genre fusion—bridging the worlds of hip-hop and hard rock with unapologetic intensity.
For fans of DMX, nu-metal, and bold reinvention—this track is a must-hear.
