BIG HOODO “CRYSTAL SKULL” ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER & DROPS WORLDWIDE JULY 2ND – NEW MUSIC VIDEO COMING JUNE 28th
      Although the name Big Hoodoo is something new in the Juggalo community, this bone chilling entity of Psychopathic Records has been in the works for the last two years. More importantly, he is already hittin’ hard as hell, makin’ himself known amongst the ‘Los and ‘Lettes and making damn sure his presence is felt!

      Details of Big Hoodoo’s album have come hard and fast. It’s called Crystal Skull and it will be dropping nationwide on July 2nd, 2013! It will be available in all big box stores where albums are sold like Best Buy, FYE, and so on.

      In addition to that the album will, of course, be available for purchase on hatchetgear.com! Actually, you can pre-order Big Hoodoo’s Crystal Skull album this very second on HatchetGear and in addition to getting your copy the day it drops you’ll also receive a special pre-order gift from hatchetgear.com! It’s an exclusive, limited edition 3D 8.5″x11″ mini poster!

      Right when Big Hoodoo hit the scene everyone started hollerin’ how they wanted to be able to actually hear how he spit and what his 100% authentic Detroit wicked shit sound was like. You know The Hatchet has your back, Homies!

      It didn’t take long for The Psychopathic Records video department to release a music video of the first single from the Crystal Skull album. It was called “Hexed” and it was a dope as fuck introduction to the big man himself, Big Hoodoo! It was creepy as hell and went along perfectly with Big Hoodoo’s dynamic delivery!

      The first music video was so badass that a lot of Ninjas finished watching it and

automatically wanted MORE BIG HOODOO! They couldn’t get enough! Once again, Psychopathic heard the call and they are going to deliver.

      On Friday, June 28th, that’s NEXT FRIDAY, The Psychopathic Records Video Department will be releasing ANOTHER Big Hoodoo music video so you can get a feel for the latest member of The Hatchet Family. The video is for the song “Never Had” and it’s going to give you more insight into how Big Hoodoo got to where he is today. As always, we can’t give anything away but the week long wait will be well worth it!

      So many people are already diggin’ the fuck out of Big Hoodoo and askin’ when they will get their first chance to see him perform live. WELL, if you’re takin’ your ass to The 2013 Gathering of the Juggalos August 7th – 11th in Cave-in-Rock, IL you’ll be able to catch Hoodoo up on stage! Pretty fuckin’ fittin’ right? His first performance being on a stage in the middle of fuckin’ nowhere, nothing but woods and Juggalos as far as the eye can see!

      We here at Psychopathic Records are fuckin’ stoked about Big Hoodoo and from what we’ve been hearing a lot of ‘Los and ‘Lettes are excited, too. Just wait, this is only the beginning of Big Hoodoo and there are going to be some massive things comin’ from him!

ICP’S SIX JOKER’S CARDS BOXSET 100% CONFIRMED
      Okay, VRRTVRRT, rewind this shit for a second and let us take you back to the 2012 Gathering of the Juggalos when Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope announced at their seminar that the highly anticipated, constantly demanded, super fly fresh as fuck Six Joker’s Cards Boxset would be coming soon. WELL, it should have been except legal shit got in the way and postponed the boxset from coming out.

      SKRRTSKRRRRT, fast forward to the here and now. We are proud to announce that after MONTHS, almost a year, of dealing with legal BS that the Insane Clown Posse’s Six Joker’s Cards Boxset has been given the green light by EVERYONE. We could get into the how and whys of the delay but no one wants to hear that snorefest. All you need to know is that it’s happening!

      There has been a lot of hard work put in behind the scenes on this because we promised it to the Juggalos and we know y’all want it. Hell, WE want to see this come out,

too! A lot of people do and now all parties involved have come to an agreement and this shit is A REALITY.

      If you think we’re just going to take the first Six Joker’s Cards and put them in a boxset, NOPE, wrong. But you’ll have to wait for more details on all of that later in time as well as the official release date. Make sure you stay posted on insaneclownposse.com to get all of the information as it arises and soon everything will be crystal clear.

      Until then, all you gotta know is… ICP’S SIX JOKER’S CARDS BOXSET IS COMING.

INSANE CLOWN POSSE THEATER DEBUTS JULY 24th ON FUSE TV
      It’s coming! ICP are going to be dominating the small screen when Insane Clown Posse Theater hits Fuse TV on July 24th! It might be a little over a month away but our anticipation is already off the fuckin’ charts and we know everyone else feels the same.

      We’ve all gotten a taste of ICP Theater when it was a webseries on the Fuse youtube channel. It was Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope giving their honest opinions about the videos that were put in front of them, from Jessica Bieber’s loopy ass to Carley Rae Jepsen (that ending – what a twist!) and even their very own “Chris Benoit” video.

      The wicked clowns did what they do best; they gave their take while pulling no punches and people fuckin’ LOVED IT! ICP were saying what everyone was thinking but didn’t have the balls to voice. They were also saying a lot of shit that no one in their right mind would think of, but that’s not surprising because Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are nowhere close to being in their right minds! That was when Fuse TV proposed the idea of making ICP Theater a full-fledged thirty minute television show to add to their upcoming line-up. The most important part? ICP were told to not change a damn thing. Fuse TV wanted the wicked clowns as hilarious and offensive as they always are and that’s why this shit is going to work, because ICP don’t change nothin’ for no one!

      Although July 24th seems like it’s a long way off, it really isn’t. We suggest you hit up your TVs now and make sure you have Fuse TV so there’s no doubt you’ll be able to peep the freshness when it debuts! July 24th on Fuse TV! Insane Clown Posse Theater is comin’, Ninjas! STAY TUNED!

DJ CLAY TURNS THE MEDIA UPSIDE DOWN
      DJ Clay’s new mixtape “A World Upside Down” has been getting a dope ass response from both Juggalos and critics (All Music Guide, the biggest music review site on the Internet, gave it 3 ½ out of 5 stars!). Clay has recently been on the road with Anybody Killa on their Summer Jam 2 tour and spoke about his new album and the art of DJing. Here are a few quick snippets… The world is now upside down, cats are sleeping with dogs, and Psychopathic’s rebellious brand of rap-rock rules the radio, beginning with the Insane Clown Posse’s catchy unreleased monster “Goblin.” Surprise keeper has to be Anybody Killa’s whiny, snide, and incredibly infectious kiss-off called “Let Me Be” (“Don’t come around if you ain’t family!”) while the other highlights are the obvious Psychopathic dust-ups where the all-star juggalos come out to play. Put ICP, Hopsin, and Tech N9ne together on a Joe Strange remix and the creeping “Skreeem!” is a great way to pre-game before the next Juggalos Gathering, then there’s DJ Clay’s own “Ceemix” of ICPs “When I’m Clowin'” which plops the gum-snapping rap-rock diva Kreayshawn on the cut for extra trashy flash. Clay’s always an expert at keeping the excitement high on his mixtapes, and as with his previous releases, the draggy tempos and spooky talk are both kept to a minimum, making this fictitious radio playlist an easy entry point into the Psychopathic world.

— from All Music Guide’s review of “A World Upside Down” (3 ½ star rating)

People that play off laptops… you could get a program right now for next to nothing, an auto DJ that will beat match for you, mix it for you, even put effects and samples on it. So if you’re onstage and people don’t see what you’re doing with your hands, you sound like a flawless DJ. That’s the difference between the real DJs and the flawless ones. Even the greatest DJs mess up once in a while. When you find that flawless DJ, chances are they’re cheating. That’s the other thing about my new record that I just put out—there’s a lot of low end, a lot of bass. So if you’re a person with some bang in your trunk, this is the record for you.

–DJ Clay in Toledo City Paper

(DJ Clay’s advice to aspiring DJs) Just keep it real, man. You can go get a laptop and put it on autobeat match and that’s cool but to be notable, you need to hop on the tables turn off the laptop and practice for real. Beat match with your ear; learn how to scratch without a screen in front of you or a cue, then when you can do that you’ll only better yourself from then on, no matter what you use.
