D12

D12, also known as The Dirty Dozen, is a multi-platinum hip-hop collective known for its bold sound and significant impact on the underground and mainstream rap scenes. After releasing their debut album, Devil’s Night, in 2001, D12, the multi-platinum hip-hop collective also known as The Dirty Dozen, achieved immediate global success, topping charts in both the U.S. and U.K. and selling an impressive four million copies worldwide.

Despite some members departing and rejoining over the years, the collective continued to evolve. In 2018, Eminem publicly stated ‘D12 is over’ on his album Kamikaze, signaling his formal retirement from the group. However, founding members Bizarre, Kuniva, and Swifty McVay have steadfastly continued to tour and record as D12, celebrating their extensive catalog and performing for their dedicated fanbase, known as the ‘Derty Headz.’ The group’s enduring legacy was further recognized with the re-release of Devil’s Night as an expanded edition for its 20th anniversary in 2021. More recently, in 2023, Swifty McVay and Kuniva embarked on a tour to commemorate the 20th anniversary of D12 World, underscoring the collective’s lasting impact on hip-hop.
