A History of Violence

Jedi Mind Tricks

Heavyweight Philadelphia boom bap defined by gravelly vocals and Stoupe's signature cinematic, operatic production. Dark, dense, and relentlessly gritty.

Find on Amazon

It's like a gritty Philly street fight scored by a haunted opera house.

A relentless, confrontational energy balanced by moments of dark, cinematic grandeur.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the haunting intro into the explosive, string-heavy boom bap of Deathbed Doctrine
The way the operatic vocal sample cuts through the dense percussion on Death Messiah
The eerie, atmospheric silence of the interludes that provide a brief respite from Vinnie Paz's vocal intensity
