NOTES

The first EP and first ever solo release from Insane Clown Posse member Violent J

Wizard Of The Hood is packaged in a jewel case with a green disc tray, a 2-sided album cover/album credits insert, and a folded back cover insert.

This is a concept EP based on the old Inner City Posse song of the same name from the EP "Dog Beats" which itself was actually a remake of an even older Inner City Posse song called "Wizard Of Delray" from the album "Intelligence & Violence" which is basically a re-telling of "The Wizard of Oz," only instead of a little girl, the main character is a thuggish crack dealer named J. There's 11 tracks total, 1 intro and 10 songs, the final 2 of which being bonus tracks.

Album features Monoxide as The Scarecrow, Jamie Madrox as The Tin Man, Blaze Ya Dead Homie as The Lion, Anybody Killa as the door-man, and Shaggy 2 Dope as The Wizard. They are all given writing and performing credit for their lyrics but it doesn't specify as to which tracks they're featured on. Twiztid and Blaze all have additional background vocals throughout the EP after their initial appearance, but none of their actual featured verses are mentioned in the track listing.

(The following text appears on the EP's cover insert)

WIZARD
OF THE
HOOD

[PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT]

This "Musical Movie Madness" was created for Juggalos.
This is just a lil' somethin' to smoke a lil' somethin' to, if you're a smoker of a lil' somethin'.
If not, fear not, it's still just as fresh anyways.

Dedicated to the Butterfly
