Biography

D-12 is the rap group formed by Eminem and five friends in the late nineties. When the group still hadn't been offered any record deals after years of touring, they all decided to go their separate ways, with the first one to become famous promising to come back for the rest of the group. Everyone was surprised when Eminem was the first to be discovered.

Their first album to be recorded was "Devil's Night," named after the Detroit holiday which takes place the night before Halloween. The holiday began in the mid-1980s, and it became customary for everyone to wreak havoc on the city of Detroit on that night each year. In 2003, Devil's Night was the cause of 151 fires that were set in the city.

The group originally had wanted to be called "The Dirty Dozen," because they had hoped to do a western song, and all be outlaws in it. The name, however, was already being used by a jazz group, so they shortened it to D-12.

Aside from Eminem (Marshall Bruce Mathers III), the other members of the group are Peter S. Bizarre (Rufus Johnson), Swift (Ondre Moore), Proof (Deshaun Holton), Kuniva (Von Carlisle), and Kon Artis (Denaun Porter).

D12 was an American hip hop collective from Detroit, Michigan. Formed in 1996, the group achieved mainstream success with its lineup of de facto leader Eminem, Proof, Bizarre, Mr. Porter, Kuniva and Swifty McVay. D12 had chart-topping albums in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia during the early 2000s. The group released the albums Devil's Night in 2001 and D12 World in 2004, spawning numerous hits such as "Fight Music", "Purple Pills", "My Band", "How Come" and "Shit on You" throughout that period. Both albums were certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 2004, the group won the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Act. Since 2006, Eminem's hiatus and the death of Proof resulted in the group being less active in subsequent years. On August 31, 2018, Eminem released a song titled "Stepping Stone" on his tenth studio album Kamikaze (2018) announcing that D12 had officially disbanded.
