Free D12 backgrounds
- This controversial Detroit, Michigan,
USA-based populist hip-hop crew have benefited from their
close involvement with Eminem, who stayed true to his word by
taking a break fromformer cohorts. Also known as the Dirty
Dozen, D12 was formed in 1990 by Proof aka Dirty Harry (b.
DeShaun Holton, 2 October 1975), who was joined by various
personnel including Bizarre aka Peter S. Bizarre (b. Rufus
Johnson, 5 July 1976), Eminem aka Slim Shady (b. Marshall
Bruce Mathers III, 17 October 1973, Kansas City, Missouri,
USA), Eiy Kyu, Fuzz, and Killa Hawk. All of the members
created an alter-ego, which in Eminem's case (Slim Shady)
turned out to be a hugely successful creation. Proof decided
to establish D12 on a more permanent basis at the time Eminem
was signing a major recording contract with Interscope
Records. |
