Gravediggaz were an American hip-hop group from New York. Formed in 1991, known for their dark sense of humor and abrasive, menacing soundscapes, Gravediggaz blended hardcore hip-hop and gangsta rap with horror elements to pioneer the hip-hop subgenre of horrorcore.
The group was formed in 1991, bringing together Prince Paul (The Undertaker), Frukwan (The Gatekeeper), Too Poetic (The Grym Reaper) and Prince Rakeem (The RZArector). It came about largely due to the efforts of Prince Paul. Frukwan and Prince Paul were previously together in the group Stetsasonic.
