Detroit Rap Duo Twiztid Enjoying Best Year Yet With Majik Ninja Entertainment, Fright Fest Shows Slated For Michigan and Illinois
The Majik Ninja Entertainment universe has been in full swing in 2017. It’s been a formative year for the label founded in 2014 by the Detroit horror-core rap duo Twiztidafter parting ways with their previous label Psychopathic Records. Starting off the year with the release of Twiztid’s The Continuous Evilution Of Life’s ?’s, Majik Ninja has released a slew of projects spanning their complete roster. With crowning releases like The R.O.C.’s Digital Voodoo or Young Wicked’s The Return Of The Prodigal Son, Twiztid and the crew have established themselves as their own entity. When you look at Majik Ninja Entertainment as a whole, they have changed with the times. While the inclusivity always preached amongst the Juggalo community still exists, there’s definitely something different this time around. While they continue their attempts to honor the history of their fan base, there’s a levity that fits into rap music as a whole.
In honoring their history, Twiztid is currently on the road celebrating the 20th anniversary of their first album Mostasteless, which will include a pair of dates for their annual Fright Fest on October 30th at the Majestic Theater in Detroit, Michigan and October 31st at Pop’s Concert Venue in Sauget, Illinois. Mostasteless was turning point in the lives of Twiztid members Jamie Madrox and Monoxide. After their previous group, House Of Krazees (along with now Majik Ninja artist The R.O.C.), ended and the two were about to go back to living normal lives with real day jobs, the duo gave it one more shot. It worked. The Insane Clown Posse took notice and signed Twiztid to Psychopathic Records.
Mostasteless would come out in November of 1997 and Twiztid would quickly become one of the franchise acts of Psychopathic Records. The album would enjoy a reissue two years later through Island Records with a new comic book-styled cover artwork and a new tracklisting, which would include the addition of the song “Rock The Dead” that would become one of Twiztid’s most beloved songs.
Twenty years later and not only is Twiztid celebrating this major shift in their lives, but Majik Ninja Entertainment is enjoying their best year yet, and don’t have any plans on stopping.
Twiztid is releasing their own comic book Haunted High-Ons through Source Point Press. The comic has Jamie Madrox and Monoxide as fake ghost hunters and all sorts of insanity will ensue. To celebrate the release of Haunted High-Ons, Twiztid will have a comic signing at Comics & More in Madison Heights, Michigan on November 11th.
Majik Ninja also announced the creation of their own pop culture convention, Astronomicon, happening February 9th-11th, 2008 at the Wyndham Garden in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Among those already announced to appear include Carla Harvey (Butcher Babies), Charles Wright (WWE Hall Of Famer), Booker T (WWE), and horror icon Sid Haig, along with a wide cast of others. Keep up on more announcements at astronomicon.com.
Along with all that, Majik Ninja continues to build their roster and have many exciting releases down the line. They recently signed LARS (Last American Rock Stars), a duo made up of Bizarre of D12 fame and King Gordy. Majik Ninja also has upcoming albums from Lex The Hex Master (Beyond Redemption) along with the Year of the Sword album featuring collaborations from the entire roster.
The Majik Ninja universe is now out in the full force and they’ve created something where there is more a level playing field throughout the artists on the roster. Sometimes, when you are amongst a counterculture that Twiztid and many of the Majik Ninja artists have been a part of for so long, the waters of inclusivity can become muddy and things are no longer the same. With the advent of Majik Ninja Entertainment, those waters are clear again and you can feel everyone is having fun again.
Twiztid is currenting on the Mostasteless Tour and Fright Fest goes down on October 30th at the Majestic Theater in Detroit, Michigan and October 31st at Pop’s Concert Venue in Sauget, Illinois.

Year of the “Steal every idea from Psychopathic and try and pass it as your own”
“Oh, ICP named their studio, we’ll name ours too!”
“ICP had a comic, well we’ll put out our own too!”
“Hatchet Attacks? No, Attack of the Ninjas!”
“Riddlebox tour!? Mostasteless tour!”
“AJB on Juggalo Weekend? We’ll do Freekshow!”
“DCGcon? Astronomicon!”
And the list goes on and on. Their label is based on a Big Money Hustlas line. Unoriginal, creatively bankrupt carbon copies. Will never get out of ICP’s shadow because they offer nothing unique.

Honestly the best album they have put out this year is “Digital Voodoo” by The R.O.C. but I expect “Beyond Redemption” by Lex “The Hex” Master to get the #2 spot. I don’t know maybe it’s just me but I think The R.O.C. really broke through with his debut album on MNE. I hope Psychopathic does something like this by releasing something from everyone on their label in 2018. But if I remember right I think DJ Clay has something coming out in December called the “17 Mixtape”. But I hope PSY doesn’t sleep on Shapeshifter and Tha Hav Knots, and don’t wind up having Big Hoodoo putting out an album every 3 years (like they did with Blaze Ya Dead Homie), which would put his next release for 2019. Oh well, I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

R.O.C. made a great album. I don’t really dig lex. I just don’t dig new York style rappers. I don’t dig necro to much but I am a fan of his haha he keeps it really real. He’s funny as shit. Fav albums were death rap and die!

This reads like a paid-for press release, with some really odd lines thrown in there…………..”Sometimes, when you are amongst a counterculture that Twiztid and many of the Majik Ninja artists have been a part of for so long, the waters of inclusivity can become muddy and things are no longer the same. With the advent of Majik Ninja Entertainment, those waters are clear again and you can feel everyone is having fun again.”………….I don’t get it. Are we having fun yet? ;)

Awesome article. Hope Majik Ninja Entertainment continues its running streak! Haven’t been disappointed with a release yet. However, I’m not too impressed with LARS. But other than that, it’s all good! Forever down with MNE and Psychopathic! Much family love! God bless the Juggalos and ‘lettes!

Money hungry twizzler got it right, they seem to copy everything ICP taught them. One thing that i wish J and Shaggs would learn from them is their stage banter. Twiztid entertains where ICP seems to stick to a script. They laugh and joke like friends on stage in the middle of a sell out crowd like nobody is watching. At least they did the 2-3 times that i seen them. They seem like normal guys having fun.

Yes I’m glad someone else brought that up. They won’t shut up on stage. Talking to much like its a comedy show. Bro shut up and do the music. Your music is serious and deep but then your not serious or deep preforming it and y’all aint funny. Just annoying. They are ruining their live show.

that actually annoys me a little.
rather have em just kick one or two more cuts, than see em do their hack comedian routine for five minutes, milking the same three jokes they told last time.

Musically speaking, Majik Ninja destroyed PSY this year.
At least Shaggy’s album was good.
