Following up
on their promise to target the "sweet spot" 18-34 year-old demographic,

rarely seen, like "X" being a caring and concerned father, and
a friendly neighborhood local in the tiny town of Carefree, Arizona, where

his legal issues, his experience with drugs and how he's trying to be the
best father, husband and person he can be. Viewers will see 'X' spending
time with his kids, taking them to school and getting parenting advice from
Buddy, his 53-year-old redneck friend and neighbor who DMX says is the 'realest'
person he knows.



Keyshia Cole's new series, "Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is", immediately
follows "Soul of a Man"-it premieres Wednesday, July 12th at 9:30pm
ET/PT. This new series goes inside the life of Keyshia Cole on tour, in
her new Atlanta home, and on the set of her music videos.



Both shows are executively produced by Tracey Edmonds of Edmonds Entertainment
