Jedi Mind Tricks - Animal Rap EP (CD) |

Indie powerhouse Jedi Mind Tricks (cumulative career scans close to 300,000 units) have helped to define an entire sub-genre as they have carved out a distinct niche in independent hip-hop. Having collaborated with the best and brightest of the indie hip-hop world, including GZA (of Wu-Tang), Sean Price, Killah Priest, Kool G Rap, Canibus, ILL Bill (of Non-Phixion and La Coka Nostra), Sabac Red (Non-Phixion), Apathy, Lost Children of Babylon, Mr. Lif, Esoteric, Virtuoso, Apathy, Mr. Lif, Esoteric, Virtuoso, Bahamadia, Planetary and Crypt the Warchild (of Outerspace), Chief Kamachi, & many more, Jedi Mind Tricks have not only solidified their star-status in the indie-world, but have also helped to launch the careers of innumerable affiliated artists. Now, for the first time since 2003 and to great anticipation, their highly coveted (and formerly out of print) EP, "Animal Rap," featuring Kool G Rap, is again available (with wide debut distribution at the chain level). The stunning Cuban-jazz and string inflected production of Stoupe The Enemy of Mankind, paired with the aggressive flow of Vinnie Paz and the consummate storytelling of Kool G Rap combine to make this release a must-have classic hip-hop collectible.
