After missing the first few show dates, our homie Stitches has had to officially drop out of the Marvelous Missing Link tour due to family health issues. Stitches’ beautiful wife just gave birth to their son but he was born prematurely and is going through some serious health issues. So Stitches has left the tour to be with his family during this difficult time. And WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND! He is doing the right thing and being a responsible husband and father and putting his family first.
But thankfully we have secured a DOPE replacement for Stitches…our homie DJ Paul, who’s debut solo album on Psychopathic Records “Master of Evil” drops on Friday, October 30. We’re psyched as fuck to have a legend like DJ Paul—co-founder of both Three 6 Mafia and Da Mafia 6ix as well as a member of the Psychopathic supergroup The Killjoy Club—joining us on our national trek. Plus, the camaraderie of having Paul on the road is going to be fuckin awesome because all of us are still in shock over the sudden passing of Da Mafia 6ix/Killjoy Club member Koopsta Knicca. Together we will get through this dark sad time and at least we can celebrate that Koopsta is now in Shangri-La getting mad angel neden.
Prozak’s latest CD, Black Ink, is now available in stores!
Black Ink is what Prozak says permeates every facet of our lives – from birth to death – and this album weaves tales of his existence in a tumultuous society. Tracks like “Your Creation”, “Purgatory” and “Tomorrow?” and features like Tech N9ne, Twiztid and Madchild, make Black Ink both introspective and relatable to the masses.

Will Twiztid Play Gathering 17? A Message From Violent J…
Juggalos and sexy ass Juggalettes….I have some possibly very crazy news. There is actually a good chance that Twiztid may not play Gathering 17! This would also mean no Psychopathic Rydas and no Dark Lotus sets. How did all this come to be? It’s almost to lame to evenbelieve. I just cant believe it has come to this, I just dont fuckin understand. Allow me to explain…–It all started at the last Gathering during the ICP seminar. Shaggy and I made the mistake of announcing that Boondox was leaving Psychopathic Records and was in fact signing with Twiztid’s new label Magik Ninja Entertainment. Apparentlyus making this announcment really pissed Twiztid off because a couple days lator Monoxide posted a video on Periscope, in which he said (This is not an exact quote, but he said things along the lines of… ) Twiztid never ever had any fuckin’intentions of signing Boondox and this was nothing more than ICP’s attempt to throw a punch at them. He asked “How do you like ICP now?” and repeatedly stated that our announcment was total bullshit and a lie designed to make Twiztid look bad. Monoxide also said that allthough they had no plans of signing Boondox before “I guess they have to now”.–This was a total shock to us because we honestly figured they were signing Boondox! Weeks prior to the Gathering, Boondox had informed us at Psychopathic Records that he was leaving the label to persue other opportunitys. He had been recently touring with Twiztid and they had just announced that Boondox was again on there new tour as well. Then he showed up with Twiztid at the Gathering, rode around and hung out with them and there crew the whole time, and even left a day early with Twiztid instead of performing in the Deadly Meadly with us as previously planned. These are the main reasons we and alot of other ninjas asumed Boondox was signing with Twiztid.–Nonetheless we now realize it was a mistake for us to make that announcement. Number one, even though Psychopathic Records created and designed the Boondox “Scarecrow” character, the fact was he was now leaving the label and it was his and Twiztid’s business when, how and if that announcement was ever made. (I personally believe what Twiztid was really mad about was that we made the announcment before they could, and we kind of fucked up there plans. They probably had a certain spin they wanted to put on the big news, but then we came along and let the cat out of the bag. Thats just what I believe anyway, but I could be wrong, we might never know.) The one thing we do know is Monoxide was pissed for real. His video posting was pretty scandalous. It was a borderline diss on ICP and I couldnt believe it when I saw it. First off, it all seemed like such a small issue we didnt really understand what he was so upset about anyway.–So after seeing Monoxide’s posting, I sat down and wrote them a long apology letter. After all these guys our are family and label mates for something like 16 years. ICP had a major role in the creation of Twiztid. We gave them there name! We gave them there start and for years we did everything we possibly could to see them succeed. It took serious work to get Juggalos of that era to accept them in the beginning. Of course we are very proud of how far they’ve come since then andwhat the fuck! They are our family! We have a deep love and respect for our brothers Twiztid.–In my apoligy letter, I explained exactly why we figured Boondox was signing with them, and we apoligized for fuckin up any plans they might of had by making that announcment. I tried to explain our actions. I told them how sorry I was andthat I now understood making that announcment was a mistake because it was there business anyway and we should of just left it all alone.–Once they got the letter, Twiztid’s manager George informed us that they wanted a public apology. We told them that would only draw more attention to the issue and that alot of Juggalos didnt even know there was a problem between us!We said maybe we should just sweep it all under the rug and forget about it. But they still wanted the public apology. Then I started thinking about Monoxide’s video post and how he had borderline dissed us when he said “What do you think of ICP now?” So I decided that if I was going to write a public apology, then maybe Monoxide should write one as well and we could both post them at the same time to let everybody know everything was all cool between us. George said he didnt think that was going to work (in other words Monoxide wasnt about to apoligize for shit) and maybe we should just let it all go.–We still didnt know how upset Twiztid was or weather or not they were even going to play the next Gathering but we had to know right away if they were going to play next summers Gathering, because Jumpsteady literally starts planning the next Gathering as soon as one finishes. We had to know up front if they were in or not because if they werent going to play Gathering 17 we would need to make that announcement as soon as possible to give Juggalos a lot of time to get used to the idea of a Twiztid-less Gathering. We know they would need most of the year to soak it all in and get over the shock that Gathering 17 was going to be a very, very differnt kind of Gathering.–The Wicked Clowns will never die, and niether will the Gathering so no matter what, “the show must go on” so we started to plan a possible Gathering without Twiztid. First off we figured we would have ICP play multiple nights. For example, one night we would do a Riddlebox show on one stage. The next night, on a differnt stage, we would do a show where we perform all raritys. We’d only play songs we’ve never done in concert before. That could be cool. Either that or we might do a KillJoy Club concert. Then on the last night, ICP would perform a giant show of all classics up on the main stage. And of course we would try to bring in the best bands and groups we could possibly afford! With or without Twiztid we would do everything in our power to put on the best fuckin Gathering we possibly could.–So present day, we’ve been contacting George for months now still looking for an answer. Still no commitment or solid answer. We toldhim we needed to know right away so we can make the announcment if they aint going to play. I personally can’t fuckin believe they are actually still that pissed about us making that stupid announcment that they would actually consider letting down thousands of Juggalos and not performing at the Gathering. That’s fuckin’ ridiculous to me. We’re ready to move on either way. That’s why we decided to go public with what’s been going on.–We’re giving Twiztid 2 more weeks from today to let us know either yes they are going to play Gathering 17, or no they are not going to play the Gathering 17. So that’s it, ninjas. We will know one way or another within two weeks time or shorter. Maybe now that the whole Juggalo world knows what’s going on they will quickly say that they are and always have been going to play, they were just too busy to call us back. Shit, we’ll take an answer any way they wannagive it. Maybe they are actually going to stay mad at us for announcing that Boondox was signing with them and never play a Gathering again! They will probably start their own Gathering. Who the fuck knows.–We just want to rock with our Juggalo brothers and we hope they do play the Gathering and we can put all this staleness behind us.Thank you for reading all this. Sorry it has come to this, our stale dispute going public and all, but were out of options and we need an answer and we need it now! We just had to keep it real with the Fam. Much Love ninjas. See you at Gathering 17!––Violent J(From the tour bus parked outside the venue in Charlotte, North Carolina! Ric Flair Country! Wooooooo!)
Swollen Members rapper Madchild, Subnoize founder Kevin Zinger sued in Battle Axe Warrior dispute
A Chilliwack man claims he is owed profits earned in a partnership aimed at taking advantage of the rabid fan base of Swollen Members rapper Madchild.
In a B.C. Supreme Court notice of civil claim, David Waltho says he and the Vancouver musician, whose real name is Shane Bunting, started theBattle Axe Warriors movement in January 2010.
But in a lawsuit that also names U.S. Suburban Noize record founder Kevin Zinger and Canadian hip hop veteran Kyle Kraft, Waltho claims he was edged out of the business.
“Despite repeated promises and assurances” from Madchild, Waltho claims he “has received neither any repayment of his initial investment nor any royalties.”
Battle Axe Warriors
Bunting has spoken extensively about his battle with painkillers, which he claims cost him as much as $3 million. His 2012 solo album Dope Sick, makes reference to his addiction.
The album was released by Suburban Noize and Bunting’s label, Battle Axe Records.
Waltho claims he and Madchild formed a merchandising partnership in 2010 known as the Battle Axe Warriors, “a members-only fan club and movement.”
Waltho claims his responsibilities included “developing brand and marketing strategy, the management of online chat forums, websites and social media.”
He claims the rapper also insisted he invest $5,000 into the partnership.
According to the lawsuit, Waltho claims Bunting never gave any official indication their partnership was registered.
He claims their relationship grew strained as Madchild invited others into the Battle Axe Warriors partnership, including Zinger and Kraft.
“On or around this time, the BAW Movement partnership began to generate substantial revenues as it gained a larger following in the music and entertainment industry,” the lawsuit says.
Waltho claims he also made personal loans to the rapper: $6,500 for a Harley Davidson motorcyle, $8,500 for a 1969 Ford Mustang and $5,000 for “food, gas, cigarettes, housing and artwork.”
Waltho says Bunting signed a promissory note acknowledging the loans and their partnership, but gave numerous excuses for late payment, including either being “on tour'” or not touring enough.
The lawsuit claims Waltho invested money in the production of two of Madchild’s albums, including Dope Sick. He claims he was told he would receive a percentage of royalties in return.
Waltho is seeking a public declaration of their partnership along with recovery of his investments and royalties.
He is suing Zinger and Kraft for “fair market value” of his partnership share in the Battle Axe Warriors Movement.
None of the claims have been proven in court. Madchild could not be reached for comment

5. What is the most memorable show you’ve been to and why?
My most recent one would have to be Twiztmas. I was standing at the bar and people are everywhere, when I hear a very loud Jamie Madrox yell “420 MARTHA STEWART!!!!” from across the room (that’s what they call me because I always make them fancy medicated edibles). He made his way over and bought me drinks and we all had a blast that night.

If I count all the small ones, in my sleeve, separately I have around 50+
7. Best moment in 2015?

WE SURVIVED AN INSANE CLOWN POSSE CONCERT AT A ROB ZOMBIE-THEMED HAUNTED HOUSE
(Photos by Kater Jayne Photography)
When Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare haunted house extended an invitation to Do312 our only response, aside from “thank you,” was, “Can we be there on the night of Insane Clown Posse’s concert?” The crowd watching alone will be worth the 40 minute drive out of the city, we reasoned.
It didn’t take long for our expectations to be exceeded.
Great American Nightmare expertly mirrors the same grotesque sensory overload that Zombie’s films are known for, right down to the noxious smells that are pumped into the maze-like chambers of its three main attractions.
Less like a traditional haunted house and more like the worst trip ever, we started in Captain Spaulding’s Clown School—now in 3D! A series of vulgar characters chased us through awesomely offensive scenes, past prisoners not meant for saving and down a nausea-inducing rotating walkway inside a spinning tunnel. What made our night extra special though was knowing these weren’t the only crass clowns we were going to encounter.

We survived the gunfire-filled world of Devil’s Rejects, stumbled through a dark meat locker, dodged another onslaught of creepy clowns in the final attraction “31” (needs more chainsaws!) and emerged from the haunted house portion of Odeum just as P.O.D. (the concert’s opener—yep, they’re still around) launched into “Boom.” This is when the real show started.
Masks and costumes are strictly prohibited at Great American Nightmare but if there’s one we thing we learned from our decent into the dark carnival it’s that won’t stop some juggalos.
“When you unzip my face, I’m a real clown underneath,” one man with an impressive makeup job boasted.
Another concertgoer wearing iris-erasing white contact lenses excitedly jumped at the chance to show us pictures of the vampiric teeth caps he’d been wearing earlier that night. The adhesive had worn off when he took a shot of whiskey, he explained.
“When you unzip my face, I’m a real clown underneath.”
There might have been more face paint in the crowd than there was in the haunted houses.
Say what you will about the juggalos—they’re a proud people, an amusing people—but they are also a friendly people, the batch that we encountered anyway. They also really, really freaking love Insane Clown Posse.
Juggalove.
While we aren’t exactly fans of ICP’s music—we’ll be honest here—we couldn’t stop watching their live show. It certainly wasn’t short on props. Ronald Reagan masks, a band of clowns maybe even creepier than Rob Zombie’s, billows of fog and tons and tons of Faygo.
Four massive vessels lined the stage, all filled with dozens of liter bottles of the off-brand soft drink. If you ever wondered how far such a bottle would travel if you shook it and threw it into the air, look to ICP members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope for your answer. (Really far.)
By the fourth song of the night the entire concert hall smelled like root beer. By song ten, the scent had drifted towards cotton candy territory. In between songs like “Chicken Huntin’” and “Juggalo Party,” the Detroiters took intermittent “Faygo breaks” during which literal buckets were poured onto the joyous audience.
“Aw man, I’m not getting any on me,” one ‘lo standing near us in our “soda safe zone” complained before running into the sticky mess of fans. You know how the age old saying goes: “If you’re not drenched in high fructose corn syrup by the end of the night, it wasn’t a good show.”
Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare is open in the Odeum Expo Center from now through Nov. 1!
