Devil's Night - D12
Devil's Night

Devil’s Night is the debut album of rap group D12, released on June 19th 2001 via Shady and Interscope Records. It is accompanied by singles “Purple Pills”, “Fight Music” and “Ain’t Nothing But Music”. Devil’s Night title derives from the pyromaniacal Detroit custom of the same name, which involves arson of derelict houses on Halloween. It marks D12’s first project as a lineup of six, following member uncertainties with The Underground EP. However, it does continue the underground style and themes of the group, such as excessive misogyny, drugs and violence. Despite selling two million copies — likely due to the prominence of member Eminem after the success of his sophomore album The Marshall Mathers LP — Devil’s Night was met with average reviews. Alongside the commercial benefits of his popularity, Eminem was feuding with several hip hop publications such as XXL and The Source: they would follow suit in criticism of D12. However, the album is still heavily appreciated by the group’s more exclusive fanbase. In 2015, D12 released The Devil’s Night Mixtape, to commemorate 14 years since Devil’s Night.
