Greg "Shock G" Jacobs (also known as Humpty Hump) and Chopmaster J formed alternative hip hop group Digital Underground in 1987 out of Oakland, California with Tampa hip-hop radio deejay Kenneth "Kenny-K" Waters. Heavily influenced by funk bands of the 1970s, Digital Underground sampled this kind of music frequently. This also became a defining element of the West Coast rap genre. Over time the group had many members come and go (although Shock G was it's mainstay), and is also notable for launching the career of member Tupac Shakur, and affiliated acts Raw Fusion, Saafir, and Mystic.
In November 2016, Chopmaster J announced he would release some of his classic Tupac memorabilia through an eBook.
