Digital Underground, formed in 1987 in Oakland, California, pioneered funk-infused hip-hop. Led by Gregory "Shock G" Jacobs, the group combined P-Funk and rap influences to create a distinct sound that appealed to both mainstream and underground audiences. Their debut album, Sex Packets (1990), included singles like "The Humpty Dance," which cemented their characteristic party-ready approach.
Digital Underground has performed on huge stages, toured globally, and collaborated with musicians including Tupac Shakur. Albums such as Sons of the P (1991) and The Body-Hat Syndrome (1993) peaked on Billboard and received critical acclaim for hip-hop creativity and humor. They are remembered for their energetic theatrical performances, comic characters, and innovative outfits.
