Shock G RIP

We are sad to report that Shock G of Digital Underground has passed away at 57. Digital Underground’s The Humpty Dance, where Shock G raps as his alter ego Humpty Hump, was the group’s most successful single and remains one of the most sampled hip hop songs in history. Shock G played a pivotal role in 2Pac’s success, giving him his first feature on Digital Underground’s Same Song and producing a lot of his early work, including I Get Around, which features Shock G himself. We send our condolences to his family and friends.
