 More music from DMX may be on the way including a gospel album. 

Swizz Beatz revealed that there is more unreleased music from the late rap icon aside from what was heard on his posthumous project Exodus.

โ€œWe have the material,โ€ Swizz disclosed during an album listening for Exodus. โ€œHeโ€™s not here but we do have the vocals and everything like that. This project definitely needs a part two.โ€

At this time, itโ€™s unclear if there are plans for a reissue of Exodus or an entirely new album, but Swizz did debut an unreleased version of โ€œBath Saltsโ€ featuring J. Cole that didnโ€™t make Exodus during his Verzuz rematch with Timbaland over the weekend.

The Ruff Ryders legend had also recorded โ€œa lot of materialโ€ for a gospel project, which Swizz would like to bring to fruition.

โ€œHe has a different set of music thatโ€™s all gospel too,โ€ said the Verzuz co-creator. โ€œThat was like his dream dream dream. We gotta try to make that happen.โ€

X, who died April 9 at age 50, was outspoken about his faith and often showed it through his music. โ€œThatโ€™s where he wanted to end up. He wanted to end up in the spiritual zone with his music,โ€ said Swizz.

DMXโ€™s eighth album Exodus was released Friday featuring collaborations with JAY-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, Usher, and Bono.

Swizz has vowed to keep his friendโ€™s legacy alive. โ€œI couldnโ€™t sleep knowing that he wasnโ€™t at his full potential,โ€ he told The New York Times. โ€œThat was a driver for me, because X created a lot of opportunities for a lot of people, myself included.โ€
