DMX is counting on a little rap to help him beat the rap at his tax evasion sentencing. Attorney Murray Richman said in a court document made public on Monday that he wants to play a few DMX compositions at Thursday’s sentencing in Manhattan for the rapper also known as Earl Simmons.

That could make it harder for the regime to continue functioning as Assad’s government burns through the state’s central bank reserves. Assad is estimated to have spent about half of Syria’s sovereign wealth fund – essentially the nation’s piggybank. It was estimated to be worth $5 billion just two years ago. European Union sanctions – coordinated with the U.S. – have made it difficult for Syria to find new trading and banking partners. This is one of the financial tools that the U.S. is wielding. For Syrians who escaped, agony of absence and prayers for justiceSyria rebels defiant ahead of Aleppo battle Unilateral economic sanctions against Syria and 26 key members of the Assad regime were tightened again last week by the United States.
