Insane Clown Posse have been putting out successful albums and attracting new fans for over two and a half decades via their Joker's Card saga, numerous EPs and side projects, and well-received solo efforts from each member. 2009's The Shining marked a new and revealing chapter in the ICP legacy, focusing on the fascinating character of Violent J: both as a member of ICP's ruthless, relentless Dark Carnival and the all-too-human writer/rapper behind the paint, Joe Bruce.
