6 Feet Deep is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Gravediggaz, released in 1994 on Gee Street. The original title of the album was Niggamortis, but it was changed on the United States release to have a better reaction, although it was released with its original title overseas. The European version features the bonus track "Pass the Shovel". 

Killah Priest and Shabazz the Disciple make their debut appearances on "Graveyard Chamber" and "Diary of a Madman", which led to RZA signing them both to his Wu-Tang Records label with their group Sunz of Man. Dreddy Krueger of Royal Fam additionally makes his debut appearance on the album.

The album peaked at #36 on the Billboard 200, and #6 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. It spawned three singles: "Diary of a Madman", "Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide" and "1-800 Suicide", which all charted on the Hot Rap Singles chart. "Diary of a Madman" was the album's most successful single, reaching #82 on the Billboard Hot 100. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised the album's ominous production and fear-inducing lyrics. 6 Feet Deep is considered influential in the horrorcore subgenre.
