Insane Clown Posse: Hip-Hop Group in New York

About Insane Clown Posse

Insane Clown Posse is the Detroit hip-hop duo of Joseph Bruce (Violent J) and Joseph Utsler (Shaggy 2 Dope), performing in clown personas and building songs around horror-themed storytelling and rap‑rock production. Through their Psychopathic Records orbit, they’ve released a long run of albums and expanded the project into film and collaborations across rap and rock. Their live shows lean on props, ritualized crowd participation, and a tightly controlled visual code. In the New York area, they bring that self-contained world to stages like Starland Ballroom.
