Shortly after Proof's death, Eminem went through his very own dark times, combined with his already terrible addiction and highly-publicized hip-hop feuds. He had a near-death experience after collapsing in his bathroom, but later managed to fight and announced his sobriety in 2008. Over a decade later, he added several albums to his impressive dis...
There's no talking about D12 without mentioning DeShaun 'Proof' Holton, the man behind the idea. While many must've hailed Eminem as the group's leader, it was Proof who glued all the members together. As mentioned, the rapper passed away in April 2006 after a pool game went wrong at CCC Nightclub in Detroit, Michigan. "Doody, most of my life it's ...
Although he's never achieved a commercial success like his early D12 days, Bizarre still gained momentum among the underground hip-hop fanbase. His last full-length studio album, Rufus, was released in 2019, but he still actively releases mixtape after mixtape. He even went to collaborate with his former D12 mate, Eminem, on the latter's Music to B...
Proof's passing also left a void in Eminem's career as a hype man, and Denaun Porter filled the gap shortly after. Although he initially left the group in 2012, Mr. Porter reunited again with his former bandmates on the track 'Bane' from Shady Records' Shady XV compilation album in 2015. In 2019, the rapper/producer enjoyed one hell of a year after...
There are many ways for rappers to connect with their fans, but for Kuniva, he took to streaming giant Twitch to play games with his fans as DertyKUNIVA, a nod to his late friend Proof's persona. Up to this writing, the channel has over 14k followers, in which he often broadcasts his Apex Legends gameplay when he's not in the studio. Kuniva is stil...
Swifty McVay is also still making music. In fact, he had a small reunion with former D12 mate Kuniva on their 2020 collaborative album, My Brother's Keeper. On the track "My Why," he even gave a shout-out for Em and the latter Proof for paving the ways of their careers. McVay's latest solo album, Detroit Life, was released last year. "Thank you to ...
Carlos 'Fuzz Scoota' Rabb was also one of the original members of D12. Unfortunately, he was absent during the group's commercial peak due to his feud against Bizarre and Proof. After the latter's death, Fuzz rejoined D12 and appeared on the group's mixtape Return of the Dozen Vol. 2 in 2011. In 2015, Kuniva confirmed that Fuzz left D12 for the sec...
Before Eminem joined D12, there was Detroit-based rapper Bugz. He was just starting out in the late 1990s as a solo artist in the Detroit underground community and as a D12 member before his death in 1999 from multiple gunshots, leaving a space in the band for Eminem to fill. D12's debut album, Devil's Night, was released in his memory. Next: 10 Fo...
