Gravediggaz - The Demo Tape EP (1993 / Hip Hop / Horrorcore / Full Album)

Gravediggaz is an American hip hop group from New York City, known for its dark sense of humor and abrasive, menacing soundscapes. The group was formed in 1992, bringing together Prince Paul (The Undertaker), Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), Poetic (The Grym Reaper) and RZA (The RZArector). It came about largely due to the efforts of Prince Paul. The group pioneered the small hip-hop subgenre of horrorcore.
According to Frukwan, the group's name means "digging graves of the mentally dead, and it stood for resurrecting the mentally dead from their state of unawareness and ignorance." The group's lyrics mix black humor (regarding topics such as suicide, death, killing, psychopathy, hell, etc.), criticism regarding the music industry, cartoonish violence reminiscent of the Geto Boys, and esoteric references to the Nation of Gods and Earths. The group pioneered the horrorcore genre.
Individual aliases:
Anthony Berkeley AKA Poetic
Robert Diggs AKA RZA
Arnold Hamilton AKA Gatekeeper
Paul Huston AKA Prince Paul

[@treondousjackson5238]

Gravediggaz formed in 92 They recorded their demo between 92-93 So their group formed before Wu Tang ?

[@wakeup9413]

WuTang goes back to 80's

[@Stylez337]

@@wakeup9413 But the actual group was formed in 92.

[@RockandrollNegro]

Gravediggaz had recorded "6 Feet Deep" between 91-92, but Prince Paul couldn't find a label to sign them. RZA and the Wu recorded "36 Chambers" between 92-93, and released it November '93. Because 36 Chambers was blowing up, Prince Paul was able to release 6 Feet Deep finally, eight months after 36 Chambers. So yes, Wu-Tang kinda existed before Gravediggaz, but all they had recorded was a demo under their original name, All N 2Getha. Gravediggaz recorded their album a year and a half before 36 Chambers, but didn't release it until after 36 Chambers began blowing up.
