DMX is no longer happy being under house confinement, as he asks a judge to let him out so he can support his family.


DMX's lawyer, Murray Richman, has on Monday wrote a letter to a New York federal judge asking that his client be allowed to travel to Atlanta, Vegas, Philly, and L.A. for some August/September concerts.

Right now, his lawyer is negotiating to get him out for some of the upcoming dates, saying the guy's got 15 kids to feed and needs to make a living, TMZ reports.

DMX violated bail conditions in his tax evasion case by skipping town without a heads-up to the court and later failing drug tests. That's why he's now on house arrest.
