Dre's G-funk style of 'gangsta rap' music. 1993 would see the release of The Body-Hat Syndrome, as well as a big shift in the hip hop world towards the previously mentioned Dr. This album would go gold, with help from its biggest single, Kiss You Back. Sons Of The P was released later that year, a full-length album with even heavier P-Funk influence abound. He went on to quite an impressive solo career. Tupac Shakur (then simply 2Pac) got his start with the Underground's second release, 1991's This Is An EP Release. It helped Sex Packets go platinum by the end of the year. Their third single, The Humpty Dance, from their 1990 debut album called Sex Packets, was their biggest commercial hit. DJ Fuze, Money B, Schmoovy Schmoov, Chopmaster J, were some of the group's main members, and they were joined by many friends on their albums over the years. Shock-G could probably be called DU's center, their driving force, along with his Humpty Hump alter-ego.
