Rapper DMX was granted early release for good behavior at New York's Rikers Island jail where he was serving 70 days for parole violation.
"He got some time off, two-thirds, for good behavior and also accrued some credit for time spent previously in jail," a spokeswoman for the Queens, N.Y., District Attorney told E! Online Friday.
The rapper, born Earl Simmons, was released Dec. 30.
DMX, 34, was sent to jail Nov. 19, a month after he pleaded guilty to probation violation in a 2004 case in which he ran his sport utility vehicle through a fence at New York's Kennedy International Airport and then claimed to be an undercover federal agent.
He violated his parole by twice getting caught driving on a suspended license.
He has reportedly quit his longtime label, Def Jam Records, and signed with Sony Music. DMX is reportedly looking to Sony to soften his gangsta image.
