D12
D12........
The Dirty Dozen, or better known as the D-12 is a group that originated in Detroit. The idea for this crew began in the back of a car. Apparently it was Proof who came up with the idea for the Dirty Dozen. The crew was in a car, driving back from New York one night, and Proof mentioned that he wanted to start this concept called the Dirty Dozen. He said that each member of the group would posess his own alter-ego. Bizzare, another member of the group, remembers having all the guys over at his house, when Eminem came over and said, "Yo, I wanna start this Dirty Dozen thing; I wanna bring it on my new album and I'm gonna show you how raw I am." He then presented his "Slim Shady" tattoo to the group, who had no idea what it meant. Em explained, "Slim Shady, that's my second charected." After this each member created their own alter-ego and began droppin' songs and creating beats in Eminem's basement on the eight track.
The group consists of six members. There is Eminem (Marshall Mathers), Proof (V. Carlisle), Kon Artis (Denine Porter), Bizarre (R. Johnson), Swift (D. Holton) and Kuniva (O. Moore). Each of these members have created their own second characters. Eminem's evil side is Slim Shady. Proof decided to go with Dirty Harry. Kon Artis chose Denine Porter. Bizzare went with Peter S. Bizarre. Swift picked out Swifty McVeight. And finally, Kuniva settle with Von. The reason the group is called D-12 and there are only six members, is because they counted each of their alter-ego's as another rapper in the group, totalling twelve.
The D-12 is currently under contract with Interscope Records and Shady Records (Eminem's new recording company). They're new album, which has not yet been given a name, will be released sometime during the Summer of 2000. What does the Dirty Dozen have to say about the album? "Concepts, ideas, sickness, skillfullness... it's all coming togethr as one. It's gonna be fresh. Check it out, and make sure you buy it because, after this, I'll (Bizarre) be in jail for rape."
