In 1989, Digital Underground released their debut album Sex Packets. The second single from the album became one of the most memorable rap songs of all time. The Humpty Dance featured Shock G’s alter ego, “Humpty Hump” on vocals. In 2008, VH1 ranked the song #30 on it’s list of the 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop. It hit number one on the rap charts in 1990.
Sadly, Shock G (Gregory Edward Jacobs) was found dead in a hotel room in Tampa, FL on April 22, 2021 from an accidental drug overdose. RIP Gregory…
