By definition the term “Decalogue” refers to The Ten Commandments of the Bible.   Perhaps this is the reason why the highly anticipated Jedi Mind Trick beat smith’s debut album is a mere 10 tracks long. But in today’s hip-hop marketplace an album that is only 10 tracks needs to be considered a classic to be worth the consumer’s hard earned [cont.]

Since Jedi Mind Tricks came on the scene in the late 90’s, they’ve put out darker music then just about anyone on the east coast, without actually getting into horror rap territory.  They seem to lie on the fringes, too violent and brooding for most, yet still solid enough to capture the ears of any East [cont.]

   With ten years in the game and five full-length albums to its name, Jedi Mind Tricks has proven to be one of underground hip-hop’s most consistent and successful groups.

During that time the duo of Vinnie Paz and producer Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind have gone from shadowy underground figures to becoming the flagship for upstart label babygrande records. Along the way they have redefined themselves as [cont.]

And then there were two…  Jedi Mind Tricks Visions Of Gandhi not only marks the end of the crews long sabbatical, but the first real glimpse of how the group will function as a duo.   While they may have been MIA for a minute, there is still a certain amount of allure attached to the group.  [cont.]

 Illadelph’s Jedi Mind Tricks first got the attention of the underground hip-hop audience in 1996, with the release of their Amber Probe E.P., a very limited pressing that was shipped to college radio deejays, and shortly after, sold online at a brand new record store called HipHopSite.
