DMX is on board for a surprise performance today in New York City.

The dog loving emcee will celebrate the release of Year Of The Dog…Again by performing at Marcus Garvey Park (formerly Mount Morris Park) in Harlem, NY. The show, beginning at 3:30pm, will feature songs from the new album, his sixth, as well as previous hits.

The location, Madison Avenue at E. 120 & 124 facing N. General Hospital, near the basketball courts, is an ideal spot for DMX to thank fans for helping him become the only artist in the history of the Billboard Top 200 to have his first five albums debut consecutively at No. 1.

The follow-up to 2003’s Grand Champ, Year Of The Dog…Again is in stores today and features the emotional single “Lord Give Me A Sign.”
