The inspired collaboration ‘X Gon’ Give It To Ya’ by DMX and Fear Of Water bounds into the Top 20 at 17* this week on the SMR Chart and moves to 30* on the Mediabase Activator Chart. 

Dave Perry, the virtuoso songwriter, producer, musician behind Fear Of Water once again shows his genius in collaboration by reimagining DMX’s original hit and making it rage in 2025.  Among Fear Of Water’s other hit collaborations are ‘Codependent Parasites’ featuring Elias Soriano of Nonpoint peaking at 10* on the SMR Chart and ‘Systemic’ featuring Aaron Nordstrom of Gemini Syndrome peaking at 7* on the SMR Chart. 

Fear of Water is the brainchild of Dave Perry, a multi-talented artist based in Austin, Texas. Born clinically deaf, Perry’s connection to music has been a critical part of his recovery, and his innovative approach to both consuming and creating music has driven his solo project forward. Over the years, Fear of Water has produced some of the most unique collaborations in modern rock, joining forces with names like Clint Lowery (Sevendust), Elias Soriano (Nonpoint), Marcos Leal (Ill Niño), Heidi Shepherd (Butcher Babies), Aaron Nordstrom (Gemini Syndrome), and more.

In this remix, Perry, along with acclaimed mixing engineer Eric Emery, breathes new life into DMX’s legendary anthem, combining the rapper’s unmistakable energy with a fresh, heavy sound that’s sure to excite fans of both hip-hop and rock alike.

“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!”

Fear of Water, the solo project from hard rock veteran Dave Perry, has produced some of the most imaginative collaborations in the 2020s

A series of one-off unions have seen them join forces with a host of names from across the musical spectrum. Clint Lowery (Sevendust), Marcos Leal (Ill Niño), Elias Soriano of Nonpoint, Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies, Aaron Nordstrom (Gemini Syndrome) and more have accompanied Fear of Water across the years, not only delighting a legion of listeners but oft-times shocking them as well. The only thing that’s guaranteed with Fear of Water’s new releases is – it’s nothing you were expecting.

Now, Perry unleashes his most audacious project yet, as he and mixing maestro Eric Emery join DMX for a coruscating reimagination of the rapper’s “X Gon Give It To Ya.”  Although, that said, it’s not as great a leap as you might expect, as Perry explains.

“DMX has always had a metal energy in his voice so this collaboration felt very organic. I’m honored to have this opportunity to breathe new life into such a classic bad-ass song.  I wish we could make an entire album together!”

Fear of Water is a one-man-band created by Dave Perry out of Austin, Texas. Born clinically deaf, the consumption & creation of music has been a critical aspect of his recovery and a central focus of Dave’s life.

The newest release by Fear of Water “Systemic” is a musically complex and driving collaboration between Perry and artistic savant Aaron Nordstrom of Gemini Syndrome. Perry actually had Nordstrom specifically in mind when writing this song and was thrilled to have him as a collaborator. The catchy hooks and driving beat of “Systemic” tell the story of the political corruption & false piety that is damaging the United States and the desire of most people to evolve past that in the best interest of mankind.

STREAM “Systemic” at SPOTIFY – APPLE MUSIC – TIDAL – AMAZON

Fear of Water most recently released a single “Codependent Parasites” with Elias Soriano of Nonpoint that has been very well received by radio, streaming and social media alike. Perry has future collaborations with Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies and Clint Lowery of  Sevendust  ready to go with several other exciting creative partnerships in the works.
