Gravediggaz: Mommy, What’s a Gravedigga (Uptight Crate Digga mix)
From Double Suicide Pack EP (Gee Street, 1995)
The Gravediggaz’ 6 Feet Deep (aka Niggamortis) is one of my personal favorite albums, so I was quite excited the first time I came across this double-vinyl EP. It mostly consists of remixes of “1-800 Suicide,” none of which (in my estimation) hold a candle to Prince Paul’s cheerfully creepy original. However, this gem of a track is tucked away towards the end of the EP, and arguably makes the whole package worth the purchase. The beat flips a sample that all Scribble Jam fans should be familiar with, while all three of the ‘diggaz bring some fresh lyrics. Actually, it’s quite a nice jam for those breezy summer nights – as long as you don’t listen to closely to the lyrics.

yeah that's a counts sample that was also used by atmosphere. interesting take, but yeah it doesn't maintain that spookyness.
