http://www.twiztid.com DVLH http://www.lukehadley.com Twiztid is a hardcore hip hop/horrorcore rap group from Eastpointe, Michigan, formed in 1997. The group consists of Jamie Madrox and Monoxide. Since their 1998 debut, the group has become the second most popular group on the Psychopathic Records (after Insane Clown Posse), and has a loyal following of Juggalos of their own. Early history (1992--1999) Prior to Twiztid, Jamie Madrox and Monoxide were members of the rap trio House of Krazees, using the names Mr. Bones and Hektic. The band released five albums before splitting up in 1997. The two formed Twiztid, signing with Psychopathic Records that same year. Twiztid's 1998 debut album, Mostasteless, was originally released independently by Psychopathic. When Insane Clown Posse signed with Island Records, they helped get a deal for Twiztid as well. Mostasteless was pulled, and re-released on Island in 1999 with somewhat different track listing. That track listing included brand new songs, leaving tracks like "Murder Murder Murder" and "She Ain't Afraid" because of Island Records' standards of material on the original Mostasteless release. Freek Show era (2000--2002) In 2000, the group released Cryptic Collection, which compiled unreleased and other hard-to-find material.
Twiztid released their second album, Freek Show, on October 31,2000
—the same day Insane Clown Posse released their Bizaar/Bizzar albums. Freek Show became the group's breakthrough album, giving the group their first taste of chart success, and proving the group could do well on their own. The group released the Mirror Mirror EP in 2002. It received little promoti
on and is the group's only studio EP. A second Cryptic Collection also came out, featuring the Mostasteless tracks that don't appear on the Island re-release. The Green Book era (2003--2004) The Green Book was released in 2003. The album was notably darker than previous albums and introduced a chang
e in sound for the group, who described the album as a more personal work. Twiztid's appearance also changed for The Green Book. Jamie Madrox now had bright green contacts and bright green hair, and Monoxide had virtually no makeup on whatsoever; neither wore any white face-paint. From this album on
, Twiztid changed their appearance to match their current album. Twiztid also began releasing a series of half-hour episodes of what they called The Purple Show on the internet. All three original episodes, plus an unreleased fourth episode, were later released on DVD. A fifth episode appeared on th
e group's website in 2004, and a sixth, Halloween-themed, episode was released on the Mutant Vol. 2 bonus DVD. Twiztid started their own label, Majik Records, with producer Tom Dub, but quickly drifted back to Psychopathic. In 2004, Twiztid released their third Cryptic Collection album, which includ
ed a cover of Steve Miller's "The Joker", which they performed at the 2004 Gathering of the Juggalos. Also, in November of 2004, Monoxide released his debut solo album, Chainsmoker LP. Man's Myth / Mutant era (2005--2006) In the summer of 2005, Twiztid released two albums—Man's Myth Vol. 1 and Mut
ant Vol. 2, released within a month of each other. Man's Myth was a typical Twiztid album, while Mutant was featured more of a rock and roll sound. Each album included a DVD; The Man's Myth DVD had footage from the group's live performance at The Gathering of the Juggalos 2004, and commentary by Jam
ie and Paul about their discography. The Mutant DVD had the music video for "Story of Our Lives", behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the video, and a sixth episode of The Purple Show. In 2006, Jamie Madrox released Phatso, his first solo record since 1995's Sacrifice. A limited edition versi
on of the album, Phatso: Earth 2 Version—with alternate mixes and one new song—was released a week after the original. Independents Day era (2007--present)The album Independents Day was released on July 3, 2007. Nearly every track features an independent guest, hence the title. Guest artists inc
lude Tech N9ne, Potluck, Proof and Bizarre from D12, (həd) p.e., Tha Dogg Pound, DJ Quik, The Dayton Family, DJ Clay, Insane Clown Posse and Blaze Ya Dead Homie. Proof and Bizarre's participation marked the first time Shady Records and Psychopathic artists appeared on record together, due to the re
cently-ended long-standing feud between Eminem and ICP. E-40, Too $hort
