For more than fifteen 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, Jedi Mind Tricks has made an indelible impression on the independent music scene while arguably forging its own subgenre of rap. Led by the fiery vocals of controversial frontman, Vinnie Paz, and his venerable rhyme partner, Jus Allah, the group has built one of the most critically-acclaimed and commercially-successful careers in independent music.
Though Jedi Mind Tricks 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. Jedi Mind Tricks music is defiant and their longevity is a testament to their blue-collar work ethic born from the bloodlines of their hometown, Philadelphia.
On October 28, 2011, Jedi Mind Tricks is set to drop its seventh studio album, “Violence Begets Violence”, through Vinnie Paz’s own imprint, Enemy Soil. Though Jedi Mind Tricks fans can expect more of the uncompromising, unrelenting brand of hardcore rap music that has become the group’s signature sound, “Violence Begets Violence,” marks a change as longtime Jedi Mind Tricks producer, Stoupe, hands over production duties to a new wave of talented producers honed on the Jedi Mind Tricks sound, but set on creating a fresh take on a classic formula.
