Jedi Mind Tricks
For more than thirteen years, the name Jedi Mind Tricks has become synonymous with raw, gritty underground hip-hop. From their debut album, The Psycho-social, in 1996 to their seminal sophomore release, Violent By Design, to their musical expansion heard on Servants and Heaven, Kings in Hell, JMT has made an indelible impression on the independent music scene. JMTs hardcore hip-hop sound is orchestrated by arguably the most well-known unknown producer in rap music, Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind, and led by the fiery vocals of controversial frontman, Vinnie Paz. The duo has served as the backbone of the group as JMT has forged new ground by creating their own musical niche while maintaining one of the most critically-acclaimed and commercially-successful careers in independent music for more than a decade.
Though JMT rarely appears on Billboard charts, their success is most accurately measured in the passion and respect of their growing legions of hardcore fans who have packed JMT shows around the world from Boston to Bogota to Bucharest. JMTs music is defiant and their longevity is a testament to their blue-collar work ethic born in the bloodlines of their hometown of Philadelphia. The 2010 incarnation of Jedi Mind Tricks is now complemented by returning member, Jus Allah, who first appeared on the groups Violent By Design album trading vicious rhymes with frontman, Vinnie Paz. Jus returned to the group in 2008 with his appearance on the JMTs latest album, A History of Violence. On the turntables, JMT is represented by the battle-tested, mixtape award-winning, DJ Kwestion, who has been JMTs tour DJ since 2006. On stage, fans will also recognize, Crypt the Warchild, who has been JMTs longtime hypeman and also one-half of the hip-hop duo Outerspace.
2010 promises to be another exciting year for JMT as Vinnie Paz preps his debut solo album, The Assassins Creed, featuring guest appearances by some of the most well-known names in rap including Clipse, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Paul Wall and ILL Bill with production by Madlib, DJ Muggs (of Cypress Hill), Lil Fame (M.O.P), Lord Finesse (DITC), MoSS and more. In 2010, JMTs producer, Stoupe, will be releasing the debut album, A Bright Cold Day, from his long-awaited trip-hop side project, Dutch, featuring vocalist Liz Fullerton.
