Their album “Yum Yum Bedlam” drops today off, and the new music video “Wrectched” is the first single. A documentary called “The United States Of Insanity” recently hit 665 theaters for one special day this month focusing on how the FBI classifies Juggalos as a gang and ICP’s fight for their first amendment rights. They decide what’s the s# or not in our scene. Juggalos are often misunderstood, but to me, they are some of the most nonjudgmental, loving, and understanding people I’ve ever had the pleasure of kicking with my whole life. The ICP has created such a dope community of people that I call family, but is often referred to as a counter-culture, or if you’re the FBI, a gang. These are some of my favorites to listen to that’s dropped this year: Or maybe, just maybe, some of you hip-hop heads can appreciate it if only for one day out of the year. Fast forward to 2021, the scene is running strong and many newcomers and pioneers have released just as shocking, entertaining, and scary for any weirdo like myself to enjoy.

I finally knew it was ok to put any emotion down on paper whether it was joy, sadness, or even the darkest sides of myself. I wrote about the same things my heroes had before me. When I started making music as a teen, it was no different. That ride home, soaking in midwestern soda glowing from seeing the music performed to perfection, and hanging out with people that felt like family. There was nothing like seeing Insane Clown Posse live. When I found the Juggalo world, I felt like I finally felt at home as an outcast from the normal mainstream music fans and I finally had something of my own that wasn’t force-fed by the media. They took things so much further I actually felt like I was going to hell for even listening to their music. Then a childhood friend showed me a group from San Francisco called Triple 6. I can’t believe he said that! I needed more. I remember when I first heard X-Raided’s Xorcist tape, I was like wow. Artists like Brotha Lynch Hung, Esham, Insane Clown Posse, and Ganxsta NIP set the tone with their eerie lyrics, dark beats, and non-filtered topics like murder, suicide, and nerophilia. Since the 1990’s Horror Rap has been circulating in the bedrooms of weird adolescent teens around the globe.
