Gravediggaz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (485 words)
The group are widely credited as being one of the most influential and pioneering groups in the small hip hop subgenre of horrorcore.
The group's first album was originally titled Niggamortis; however, the potentially risqué title was changed to 6 Feet Deep for the American market (European versions of the album retained the original title, and also included the bonus track "Pass The Shovel").
Released on August 9 1994, 6 Feet Deep was a mix of over-the-top ghoulish fl humor, cartoonish violence reminiscent of the Geto Boys, esoteric references to the Five Percent Nation of Gods and Earths, and gritty, foreboding beats reminiscent of RZA's work with the Wu-Tang Clan.
