GOLDEN ERA

Shock-G back with Digital Underground

SONICNET.COM

Shock-G (a.k.a. Gregory E. Jacobs) and "Humpity Hump," his false-nose- wearing, suave and stuttering persona, are back, joined by guest rappers KRS- One, Biz Markie, the Big Punisher, Money-B, Clee and others on Digital Underground's return to the music scene with their fifth album, to be released Aug. 16 on Jake Records.

The P-Funk-inspired posse of Digital Underground, with a lineup that at one time consisted of DJ Fuze, Money-B Chopmaster J and the late Tupac Shakur, peaked in 1990 with their platinum release Sex Packets. The band had kids dancing with the funky "Doowutchyalike" and earned a Grammy nomination for the single "Humpity Dance."
