BIO  Originally taking the pseudonym of Ikon the Verbal Hologram, he later changed his name to Vinnie Paz , after the Rhode Island boxer Vinny Pazienza. Vinnie Paz originally started rapping with fellow Jedi Mind Tricks producer, Stoupe, in his basement. Paz is known for his raw and gritty lyrical delivery. He is also known for his extensive use of studio punch-ins, seldom recording a verse in one take. His lyrics frequently contain references to religion, war, politics, mythology, conspiracy theories, the paranormal, and esoteric topics. Albums with Jedi Mind Tricks, such as Servants in Heaven Kings in Hell show a more obvious approach to politics and world issues. This gritty style of Paz became apparent with the release of Violent By Design, and has become progressively more defined since its release. Vinnie Paz has a number of aliases, including Louie Doggs, Vinnie Vicious, The Pazmanian Devil, Pazienza, Frank Vinatra (as told in "On the Eve of War" with GZA), and Vin Laden. Raised Catholic, Vinnie Paz is now Muslim, which plays a major role in many of his lyrics. Vinnie is also a Heavy Metal Rock fan, and occasionally uses song titles and band names in Jedi Mind Tricks tracks and lyrics.

Army Of The Pharaohs
Paz formed Army Of The Pharaohs [AOTP], an underground East Coast hip hop group featuring himself, Apathy, Celph Titled, Chief Kamachi, 7L & Esoteric, Planetary & Crypt the Warchild (Outerspace), King Syze, Faez One, Jus Allah, Doap Nixon, Reef the Lost Cauze, Demoz, Block Mccloud, and Des Devious, although not every artist is on every track.
