Grave Diggin In The Crates



GraveDigging in The Crates.

The time has come for the darkness to be set free on the Rap Nerds blog!

In honour of Halloween the originators of horrorcore are being acclaimed. 1994 was a great year for Hip Hop with countless classics coming out of New York in particular. The sound was booming and horrorcore didn't fit into any pigeon holes.

Really what the hell were these guys going on about, who wanted to hear twisted stories of suicide and mass murder? Well Prince Paul and the RZA together made a classic theme album and although at the time I remember liking it but thinking it was a bit weird and not really 'real' enough! Ha, the follies of youth.

Listening these days really does do credit to a very well crafted LP with a sound that was a bit too ahead of itself. Prince Paul was going from Daisy Age to Madman's Diaries seamlessly.

Gravediggaz - Diary Of A Madman 12''

Gravediggaz - 1-800-Suicide 12''
