Wizard of the Hood

Wizard of the Hood is an EP by Violent J. Released in 2003, it is the Insane Clown Posse member's first solo release. The EP is a concept album based upon The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which is retold in an urban setting. The EP contains nine story tracks and two "bonus tracks". It was also released in a "Collector's Edition" tin which featured two different bonus tracks and a package of "Violent Joint" rolling paper.

Violent J takes on the role of this story's version of Dorothy, making his way through this strange new land to get back to his home. Along the way, he meets the Scarecrow (Twiztid's Monoxide Child), who only needs somebody to smoke with, the Tin Man (Twiztid's Jamie Madrox), who wants a "gat", and the Lion (Blaze Ya Dead Homie), who wants some "hos". Anybody Killa has a brief cameo as a guard in the Wizard's palace, and fellow Insane Clown Posse member Shaggy 2 Dope appears as the Wizard.
