The Pick, the Sickle and the Shovel, released October 14, 1997, was the sophomore album of Gravediggaz, an influential hip hop supergroup. This album had a more socially-conscious sound to it and was considerably more calm than its predecessor. On the album, RnB singer Kelis is featured on the track 'Fairytalez'. This is said to be Kelis' first studio appearance of her career, recorded two years before her debut album Kaleidoscope was released.
