Vampiro
 ICP hooked up with Vampiro during the time they wrestled in WCW. With him and Raven they formed the sinister group called "The Dead Pool". The 4 were loved and hated by many WCW wrestling fans throughout their existence to the federation.
During his time with the WCW, Vampiro was known to sport much of Psychopathic Records merchandise. Juggalos worldwide respected Vamp for showing so much clown luv. Vampiro and ICP have also wrestled at events in Mexico, where Vampiro continues to make a majority of his wrestling appearances.
Insane Clown Posse and Vampiro grew closer and closer and eventually Vampiro was signed to Psychopathic Records. He was supposed to release an album during 2000 or 2001 with a punk rock type of sound to his music. He even toured with ICP on the B/B Tour for a while until him and ICP had a falling out. He was last seen with ICP around/after the Gathering of the Juggalos 2001.
It's rumored that Vampiro was getting a little to greedy and asking for too much money so Psychopathic dumped him. It's also rumored that he wasn't selling enough tickets so he got the boot, who knows? Anyway.... Vampiro has also appeared on Twiztid's "FreekShow" LP doing an intro to for the track "Maniac Killa". In 2002, ICP released "Forgotten Freshness Vol. 3" which contained a track "When Vampiro Gets High". It was basically the same concept of the intro on "Maniac Killa", just the equivalent of the bloopers from the recording so to say. |

Myzery
 Former Psychopathic Records artist and Psychopathic Ryda MYZERY joined the psychopathic camp along with Twiztid and the clowns back in 98. Only one album, an EP, was released by this South Bronx NY emcee which was called "Para La Isla" or "For the Island". Myzery has appeared on many Psy projects such as Big Money Hustlas, Psychopathic Rydas, Twiztid's OG Mostasteless, ICP's Forgotten Freshness and ICP's Hokus Pokus video, which appears on "Shockumentary".
Da Minority (Myzery's partner in rhyme) was frequently seen on stage performing with Nay Nay during live performances. Myzery is Jump Steady's brother in law. Due to differences between Myzery and the label, he left around late 98 or early 99.
He has performed at The Gathering of the Juggalos 2001 and has been selling cd's personally to Juggalos who are still down with him who attended the past 2 gatherings. Myzery has 2 other releases out that are not on Psychopathic Records. The albums are "4 Faces", which include a few scrapped tracks that were recorded for his debut LP on Psychopathic which was never released but was to be called "Misery", and the other release was titled "The Red Eye" and includes an intro by Violent J from the Gathering 2001.
At the Gathering of The Juggalos 2001 Myzery was involved in a scuffle with Twiztid, Blaze, and a crew of Juggalos in a hotel room due to the misunderstanding of psychopathic records employee "Pickles". Although Myzery is no longer a Psychopathic Records performer...in the eyes of many he's still loved, and still hated.
As of January 30th, 2007, Myzery's official site ( Myzery.net) announced that Myzery had been killed, but never went into how it happened. No other info has followed, and everybody has been left in a mysterious haze concerning Myzery's demise. |

Guido (Bassist from Zug Izland)
 Note: This was writen when Guido was in Zug Izland, so it's written in present-tense but gives you some clue of what he's currently doing now.
Armed with his 5-string Ibanez (Model Number: SR405BK) bass guitar, Guido is one of the backbone players in the band. His bass tones can be heard very loudly and clearly at live shows, and he has a very strong stage presence. Back in March/May 2002, Zug Izland fell off of Twiztid's "Mirror Mirror" tour, because Guido was diagnosed with a treatable brain tumor. He recovered and Zug were able to come back and play both the WRIF Live and loud festival in Detroit, MI, and the Gathering of the Juggalos 2002 in Peoria, IL. Back when Zug Izland were starting out, and Psychopathic Records had them as a "gimmick" band, Guido was known only as "The Bass Player", and he wore a mask onstage, as he was allegedly "wanted" by the police. The gimmick didn't go over well, so Psychopathic dropped it off the band, and they followed up musically.
Guido also plays bass, drums, and vocals in a local Detroit cover band known as "The Sofa Kings". They play danceable, fun, rock-n-roll music, and are mainstays on the Detroit local music scene. Guido takes time off of The Sofa Kings to be with Zug Izland, and when he has time off of Zug Izland, he plays with the Kings.
Unlike many bass players, Guido has become one of the bands "favorites", fan-wise, and only has good things coming.
What he's doing now: Guido had to leave the band on account of his brain tumor, and that he could not keep up with a touring lifestyle. Guido now plays strictly in Detroit with his long-time friends, The Sofa Kings, who he was affiliated with before he knew, and while he was in Zug Izland. Their site can be viewed at www.sofakingsband.com. Guido still shows up to major Zug Izland and Psychopathic Records events.

Project Born

Former Psychopathic Recording artist's Project Born (PJB) is a three-man rap group straight out of Flint Michigan. Members consist of Frank Nitty, Lil Polk, and Half Pint AKA Pint Capone. PJB has put out many albums in the past up until now. "Born Dead", Project's first release in 1995 was an EP put out by Psychopathic Records. The album included a track with Insane Clown Posse called "Graveyard" which also appeared on ICP's Forgotten Freshness album.
Their next release "Jack the Reaper" was released in 2000 on Hard Luck Records. It's 9 (8, +1 Bonus Track) tracks...a bootleg version of this album was sold at the Gathering Of The Juggalo's earlier that year. And "The Rent is Due" (LP) was released on Project Mob Records in 2002. Other releases include a "Losin' It" single with Esham and a cd titled "Crap or Natural".
In late 2002, Psychopathic Records released "Hatchet History" which was a collection of songs released in the ten years of their existence. The track "Losin' It" with Esham was featured on the album. It was reported that PJB would've been on the first of the two exhibits of Insane Clown Posse's Sixth and final Jokers Card "The Wraith: Shangri-La" but fucked it up by talking about it before it took place. |

John Kickchass

John Kickchass better known as Shaggy's older brother, John Utsler, was one of the original members of the Insane Clown Posse, The Inner city posse, and the JJ Boys. John was there from the beggining and is one of the essential puzzle pieces in the history of the Insane Clown Posse.
Not much can actually be confirmed about John since he was a member when not much was written down. From past interviews with the Insane Clown Posse, one thing has been mentioned as a possibility of why he is no longer in the group, the reason? He wasn't feeling the Carnival vibe. Originally the group were a gang based out of Detroit and were doing horror music however were not wearing face paint or dressing like clowns. So with all this occuring he decided it was to much and left the group.
The problem with John leaving is that ICP were in the middle of recording the follow up to Bassment Cuts, Gangsta Codes and they had half an album with John on it. So they had to replace him with Greez-E but that was short lived. That is when Icp became simply Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope.
In 2003 John Kickchass came back into the Psychopathic Records limelight yet again as he was announced as the Mystery Guest at the annual Gathering of the Juggalos. |

Greez E

Greez-E, better known as the other guy from ICP, was actually nothing more then a fan of Detroit underground music. After an ICP show, it was announced that he was the new third member of the group filling in for the now gone, John Kickchass. Greez-E only made the one album with the Insane Clown Posse, and was never heard from again. |

Marz

Zlatko Hukic left his gig of playing guitar for metal band Ministry in 1998 in pursuit of a career in the culture of Hiphop. It wasn't hard for Zlatko to get into the rap roots, however, as he had been working on a project he called 'Marz' even before he joined up with Ministry. Zlatko hit the studio with engineer and close friend Robert Hill. After a long period of work, they came out with the musical opus 'Lung Fu Mo She.' Produced by Zlatko himself, it can only loosely be described by the label it was given, "Idustrial Rap."
Zlatko was quickly signed to E-Magine Entertainment, and working with them he collected a touring band made up of Robert Hill, Pat Delagarza, Trey Gourley, Rey Washam, and Louis Svltek. Together they were known as Marz. Zlatko also used the name Marz for his individual name.
Marz released 'Lung Fu Mo She' in 2000, and subsequently released "In The Mud" and "Third Eye" as singles. A low-budget video was also recorded for "In The Mud." Marz also had their track, "Cupid" featured on the 'E-Magine Supercuts' compilation album.
Marz jumped on the road with the Insane Clown Posse and Nashville Pussy for the ICP's first leg of the Bizzar/Bizaar nationwide tour. When the leg of the tour was over, ICP was so impressed with their opening act that they got Marz (Zlatko) into the studio with them and cut the aggresive track, "Fuck Dem." That track was later included on the Psychopathic Records 2001 sampler.
ICP were again impressed with Marz, so much that Violent J, a member of the ICP, pulled Marz aside shortly after mixing their collaboration, and asked Marz to be apart of the upcoming 'supergroup,' Dark Lotus. Dark Lotus was to consist of ICP, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Twiztid (another bizarre two-man rap group) and now Marz. They already had some of the debut Dark Lotus album, 'Tales From The Lotus Pod,' recorded and mixed down, but J wanted Marz to become the sixth member of the group. Marz accepted.
but that's not all J had to offer Marz. ICP was so impressed with Marz's performances and love for the Juggalos (ICP's fans) that they wanted him to come out with them and Blaze Ya Dead Homie for the second leg of the tour. But Marz had a problem... he couldn't afford another tour bus! So ICP offered to let him, Pat (now going under the alias of Kaos) and Robert (now going under the alias of DJ Juggernaut) to ride on their bus. But there was a catch... ICP was feeling the band. They wanted Marz to ditch the rest of the band besides Kaos and DJ Juggernaut. Since the band didn't do any of the work on the record, and they were just costing him tons of money, he complied. Marz had become a 1-man army.
Violent J also suggested Marz and Kaos start to wear facepaint, at least for this tour, so they could fit into the live 'Juggalo vibe'. Marz also complied with this, and he and Kaos came out with skull facepaint and black outfits covered in magic symbols (Zlatko had always been interested in magic since his teenage days growing up in Croatia)
So Marz did the Bizzar/Bizaar tour. Kaos became his live hype-man, and Robert continued to help him program beats in the studio/be his roommate.
After a solid grip of touring, Marz, ICP, Twiztid and Blaze entered the studio in Detroit, MI and, with the help of producers Mike E. Clark and Mike Puwal, recorded 'Tales From The Lotus Pod.' This was undoubtedly some of the darkest rap music to ever be laid down. Certain choruses and background voices are 100% real conjuring spells pulled right from Marz's books of magic, which he brought to the studio.
'Tales From The Lotus Pod' was released and soon after Marz had the oppurtunity to perform at the giant Gathering Of The Juggalos 2001 in Toledo, OH. This was a 3 day event held in a major arena that consisted of merchandise booths, artist Q & A seminars, autograph signings, professional wrestling, entertainment booths, and concerts in the evening put on by all Psychopathic Records artists along with some other national acts.
Marz performed his own set and then particpated in the first ever Dark Lotus performance. It was a very monumental weekend for Zlatko Hukic, who spent his days as a teen in poverty listening to 2-Pac records.
Coming off of the Gathering, Marz was on a high and was set to do some instore appearances around the country. But, not all stories have happy endings, and E-Magine Entertainment still had a part to play in this.
The story is partly muddled, and it appears everyone has their own. Violent J says that E-Magine Entertainment got word that Marz was on Dark Lotus, and emailed all of the Juggalo sites telling them to interview Marz. J took this as a diss and booted Marz from Dark Lotus. J also said he didn't know why Marz dropped his band or put on facepaint, and that it was just Marz trying to "steal Juggalos." J was also mad that Marz didn't sign with Psychopathic Records. Marz says that while E-Magine did the wrong thing, J told him to take his facepaint off and drop the band. Marz also said that he didn't sign with Psychopathic because they weren't willing to buy his E-Magine contract. But, Marz backed off and said it was "Joe's band," ("Joe" being Violent J) and if J wanted him out, he would leave.
Another (very reliable) story is that ICP offered Marz a bad contract, and he declined (apparently, it's the same contract they offered Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Blaze didn't realize it until Marz talked to him.)
So, it looked like Marz was out, and Psychopathic was re-releasing 'Tales From the Lotus Pod' with Marz's vocals taken out, and Native American rapper Anybody Killa's vocals put in. Violent J referred to it as, "the REAL Dark Lotus." Marz's response was in the form of song, and he released "The REAL Dark Lotus", on Halloween to the internet.
Dissing between the parties ensued, but now it appears that they have attempted to lay their beef to rest. |

Perpetual Hype Engine
Before Zug Izland, Psychopathic Records began working with a rock band from Detroit consisting of members Sal Aiello (Big Sal) on vocals, Kurt Harm on guitar, Dave Curry on bass, and Joe Smith on drums. The name of the group was Perpetual Hype Engine.
The group was established and founded by front man Sal Aiello, who had been in different bands throughout his life the most recent was a band by the name of Power train, which was a relatively small group that played in bars and garages. Perpetual Hype Engine was originally touted to be Psychopathic Records first rock group as they were looking to expand their style. Perpetual Hype Engine was featured on ICP's Bizzar album on a song titled, "Let's go all the way" which was a remake of an old Sly Fox song.
According to many reports and interviews over the years, one of the main problems with Perpetual Hype Engine was Sal Aiello was reportedly difficult to get along with and had a huge ego. Psychopathic Records being a mostly tight knit label could not have the negativity which the group brought to the table and after recording the video for "Let's go all the way" Perpetual Hype Engine was never to be heard from again.
Perpetual Hype Engine are still making music today with different band members and different circumstances. |

Esham

We all know the past of Esham, and if you don't go check out his artist section. Esham joined Psychopathic Records in 2002 at the Gathering of the Juggalos in Peoria, Illinois. This came as a shock to many especially Eshams original fanbase who supported him as well as Tnt and Mastamind (NATAS) the fanbase were called suicidalist.
It also came as a shock because in the past Esham and the Insane Clown Posse didn't always see eye to eye. When Eshams brother James went to prison, and other events unfolded Esham began to do his own thing and ultimately wound up signing to Psychopathic Records. With the signing to the label he changed his nickname from The Unholy, to The Boogieman.
In December of 2002 Esham released a compiliation album with Psychopathic Records, Acid Rain. He also would begin to appear on other Psychopathic Records Artist material such as Anybody Killas first Album. On November 18th 2003 Esham released his first full length album Repentence which featured a single called "PAY" which had appearences by Bone Thugs N Harmony. Later on in the year Esham was also featured on Psychopathics from Outerspace 2 as well as being a constant participant in other artists releases such as Twiztid, Icp, Abk, and Blaze.
In 2005 Esham released a project called Soopa Villains which also featured Lavel, and The Insane Clown Posse. Shortly after the release of this album Esham left Psychopathic Records on October 24th of 2005.
The reason he left psychopathic records is unknown but there was a buzz in the air that Esham and his brother James would reform Reel Life productions and reform the most wicked group in history, NATAS. Well in late october this was officially announced and the official website for NATAS became live, Natas Website. The site was named after the album title of the new NATAS album to be released later in the year.
While Esham is no longer a member of psychopathic records, we will continue to bring you the latest Esham news and keep you updated on his career as well as the future of NATAS.

Soopa Villainz
The Soopa Villainz were a group formed by Psychopathic Records in 2004, which took quite a long time to develop. The group was announced with many different line-ups and at one point even a name change, which Tech N9ne from Strange Music/M.S.C announced would be called Planned Panic featuring Himself, Kutt Kalhoun, Esham, and The Insane Clown Posse. That would be the last we heard of that lineup as in 2005 the Group was formed and the announcement was made that the group would release an album entitled, "Furious." The group consisted of Lavel, Esham, Violent J, and Shaggy 2 Dope.
The album was released and all was well. In fact, there was even talks about forming a group to battle the Soopa Villainz, entitled the Soopa Heroez. These names were based off of a comic book group of good guys, The Heroes, and bad guys, The Villains.
After the release of the album and coinciding with the release of Eshams brother James from prison, Esham left Psychopathic to restart his prior record label, Reel Life Productions.
Rumors were afloat that the split wasn't how it should have ended however nothing could be proved. On January 26th 2006, It was announced on Insaneclownposse.com that the group was no more and that it would never see the light of day again. So with that The Soopa Villainz are past artists of Psychopathic Records.

Lavel
In Detroit in 1995 future Psychopathic Records recording Artists Anybody Killa and his partner in rhyme Lavel, combined to form a group by the name of The Krazy Klan. The group released an album entitled developMental which featured a track with The House of Krazees. The House of Krazees were also soon to be Psychopathic Records recording artists. Shortly after the release of the album the group decided to go there separate ways and Anybody Killa, then known as Jaymo, went on to pursue a solo career under the name Native Funk.
Jaymo's album would go on to catch the attention of Psychopathic Records and would soon lead to ABK's big break with the label.
Shortly before that Psychopathic Records signed Blaze at the suggestion of Twiztid (Formerly known as House of Krazees). Blaze was featured on numerous Psychopathic Records releases before eventually getting the chance to release his debut solo EP on Psychopathic Records.
The Debut Ep was a flop and Blaze was about to be released from the label. At this time Blaze was being marketed as a Zombie and Psychopathic Records felt the need to continue the gimmick so they began looking at a replacement. The replacement was named Lavel, former member of the Krazy Klan. Psychopathic Records were giving him a serious look however Twiztid soon entered the picture. Twiztid reportedly issued an ultimatum to Alex Abyss that If Blaze was released then they would quit. So Alex fearing to lose the labels newest and hottest commodity's dropped the issue of releasing Blaze and with that Lavel was not signed.
Lavel would continue to work with Psychopathic Records throughout the years including production on Blaze failed debut Ep, 1 Less G N Da Hood.
Lavel would also go on to become a member of a new group formed by The Insane Clown Posse and Esham titled, Soopa Villains where he would play the role of Mr Heart.
In 2005 The Insane Clown Posse for one reason or another stopped working with producers Fritz The Cat, and Mike P. So they turned to Lavel to pick up the production for the group. Due to the high demand of Lavel he acquired a large amount of overtime money due. This money was never paid to Lavel and he felt used.
On new years eve 2006 Lavel and Anybody Killa agreed to perform a show in Detroit at the dismay of Violent J. The two were feeling the heat from Joe and were looking at Shaggy 2 Dope to offer some type of relief, but there was none to be had.
In 2006, Psychopathic Records would begin to lose members of the roster including Anybody Killa and Esham. Esham left shortly after the release of Soopa Villains, Abk left the label after refusing to sign a new contract with the label. Seeing that Psychopathic Records had been stringing him along for the past six years, Lavel was angry and he felt like he was getting "played like a record," so he cut off all professional ties with the label.
Lavel would go on to release a Mixtape in March of 2006 entitled, Diamond Cutz Volume 1. The album featured past Psychopathic Records artists Abk and Esham as well as artists who had notoriously had beef with the label including Skrapz. The Mixtape featured diss tracks to Joe Bruce and Shaggy 2 Dope among others. Shortly after Lavel agreed to do an Interview with Faygoluvers.net where he would tell all on this matter and why exactly the Mixtape came about.
In the Mixtape he promised to keep dissing unless Joe Bruce would talk to him man to man and they could settle the issues they had.
He also vowed to release a new Soopa Villains album, off of Psychopathic Records titled, Villains versus Hero's.
The beef between the group is still on going at this time so keep an eye out because the story of Lavel is far from over. Even though he no longer works with Psychopathic Records, we at Faygoluvers.net will continue to support all his future endeavors.
*The interview can be found in the Interviews section.
