D12

A six-man squad from Detroit, D-12 are best known as being Eminem's crew. Their members include Shady himself and Bizarre, Kuniva, Swift, Proof, and Kon Artis (though each of them have split personalities, hence the dirty dozen). Sticking to the same shock-appeal m.o. that helped Em get so large, D-12 rap mostly about sex, drugs, and violence, attempting to be as aggro and scary as possible. They dropped their first LP Devil's Night in 2001, and found sizeable hits with singles like "Purple Pills" and "Sh*t On You." In early 2004 they came back strong with "My Band."
