ABOUT ICP:
Celebrating 20 years together, Insane Clown Posse is among the best-selling independent groups of all time, with 24 albums to their credit and over 11 million sold worldwide. ICP emerged from Detroit's underground music scene in the early 90s, with a hardcore hip-hop style composed of musical stories, a unique mix of controversial and cartoonish lyrics.
The face-painted duo of Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope have smashed through the ceiling of the music industry's expectations, amassing their own dedicated legion of millions of fans and releasing a steady stream of albums, compilations, music videos, wrestling promotions, films, outrageous events, and signature merchandise.
The group remains in the pop culture spotlight, with current features in Maxim and SPIN, as well as their recent high-profile collaboration with Jack White, "Leck Mich Im Arsch." But if you ask the wicked clowns about their success, they would tell you that they're just getting started with their latest album, The Mighty Death Pop.
