D12 (also known as D-12, The Dirty Dozen, D-Twizzy, D-Tizzle and Detroit-Twelve) is an American hip hop group from Detroit, Michigan. D12 has had chart-topping albums in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. D12 was formed in 1995, but only achieved mainstream success when one of its members, Eminem, rose to international fame and notoriety.
Recently the group has turned on Eminem creating a diss track with long time rival Canibus and Canibus' label mate and famed internet rapper DZK. The track is gaining ground on youtube called "Air Strike (Pop Killer)" taking shots at Em with subjects ranging from Hailey to Proof. The reason for their change of heart is unknown however for this diss track. Rumors have it that they are upset with Eminem's involvement with supergroup Slaughterhouse. However, Swifty from D12 later said that they were set up by DZK. DZK asked them to be on a song, but they didn't know that Canibus was going to be on it and they were going to diss Em.
D12 is confirmed to play The Voodoo Experience at City Park in New Orleans, Louisiana over Halloween weekend 2009.
