It was a bit unexpected when former Tommy Boy Records artists Prince Paul (producer for Stetsasonic and De La Soul), RZA (of Wu-Tang Clan), Frukwan (Stetsasonic), and Poetic came together to release an album as Gravediggaz in 1994. At the time, Paul’s career had slowed somewhat, while RZA was riding high on the success of Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) with his Staten Island crew. Still, the group teamed up to record the excellent 6 Feet Deep for the UK-based Gee Street Records.
Dark loops and incredibly sinister, disturbing lyrics dominate the album, earning it recognition as one of the pioneering releases in horrorcore hip-hop—if that’s even a genre. Regardless, the result is a classic, standing alongside the first wave of legendary Wu-Tang Clan albums.
