A [[Hip Hop]] group noted for popularizing the [[Horrorcore]] style, Gravediggaz primarily consisted of Stetsasonic's Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), [[Wu-Tang Clan]]'s RZA (The Rzarector), [[De La Soul]] producer Prince Paul (The Undertaker), and Brothers Grym's Poetic (The Grym Reaper). Gravediggaz is noted for a high level of [[Gallows Humor]], [[Geto Boys]]-influenced cartoonish violence, esoteric references to the Nation of Gods and Earths and dark production. |

Their first album, ''Niggamortis'' (more widely known as ''6 Feet Deep'' in the United States), is one of the most widely appraised [[Horrorcore]] albums, and features some of the darkest production by Prince Paul. Their next album, ''The Pick, the Sickle and the Shovel'', featured production by RZA and a calmer sound, while the lyrics combined their usual Horrorcore fare with sociopolitical issues. ''Nightmare in A-Minor'' was recorded without RZA and Prince Paul, who had left the group. After Poetic's [[Author Existence Failure]] in 2001, the group remained inactive until recording a new track, "2 More Cups of Blood" in 2010, and announcing a new Gravediggaz album in 2011. |
