He is also the frontman of the hip hop collective Army of the Pharaohs.
Paz was born in Sicily, Italy, where he lived for a short time before moving with his family to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is of Sicilian/Italian heritage. He has both Italian and American citizenship. Paz originally started rapping with fellow Jedi Mind Tricks member Stoupe in his basement.
In 1996, Paz released the Amber Probe EP. This was the debut EP from the duo and it was released in 1996. It featured guest appearance from The Lost Children of Babylon. It was in 1997, Jedi Mind Tricks released their debut album; The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness (often abbreviated as The Psycho-Social CD). The group only consisted of Paz and Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind at this time and featured Apathy, Jus Allah, and Black Thought.
He released his first solo album, Season of the Assassin in 2010. This was 18 years after Paz had originally started rapping. He released his second album God of the Serengeti in October 2012. In 2013, Paz confirmed that he was working with Army of the Pharaohs to release In Death Reborn, which was released in 2014. October 22, 2013 marked the release date of his second EP, Carry On Tradition. Paz's third solo LP, The Cornerstone of the Corner Store, was released on October 28, 2016. He released his fourth solo album, The Pain Collector, in September 2018. Subsequently, his newest solo album titled As Above so Below was released in February, 2020.
Paz owns an independent record label, Enemy Soil.
Paz is known for his raw and gritty lyrical delivery. His lyrics frequently contain references to religion, war, politics, mythology, conspiracy theories, and the paranormal. His more recent albums such as Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell show a more obvious approach to politics and world issues. This gritty style of Paz became apparent with the release of Violent by Design, and has become progressively more defined since its release.
Raised Catholic, Paz is now a Muslim, which plays a major role in much of his lyrics, often controversially, as on "Heavenly Divine", where he rapped "I'm with Allah 'cause he chose me, I broke into the Vatican, strangled The Pope with his rosary." Paz is also a heavy metal fan, and occasionally uses song titles and band names in JMT tracks and lyrics.
Paz has a number of aliases, such as: "Ikon the Verbal Hologram", "Louie Doggs", "Boxcutter Pazzy", "Pack Pistol Pazzy", "Hologram", "Paz", "Vinnie P", "The Pazmanian Devil", Odrama Vin Laden", "Ikon the Python", and "Pazienza".

Cero Miedo
Vinnie Paz Lyrics
Yeah, more lower yeah, one-two, more lower
One-two, yeah, look, yeah
Yeah, this dummy ask if
She can touch the jewelry get out my mitt
Your man is actin' like a fuckin' stoolie
Bury me in the golden urn
I'm The Last Tamuli
Y'all don't really want the fuckin'
Drama this is not kabuki
I squash fifty-seven y'all
While playin' racquetball
Maybe y'all is playin' Dragon
Ball and sniffin' Adderall
The cuete little but it splash
'em like a cannonball
Sanskrit and Mushika Dynasty it canon, all
You playin' by the basement while
I play the corner
I like a massive body count and
Have my things in order
I rob Peter to pay Paul
Just to pay the pauper
I have my Jewish lawyer there so
He could gauge the offer
A semi Costa Rican shooter out
To plug the hellion
The mic in my face outside
The court like Doug Llewelyn
You tryna go to war
With somebody who Machiavellian
You tryna to go to war with
Someone who a black Sicilian
Shots gon' fly-y-y ya better get lo-o-ow
Ya wanna ask why-y-y
Ya mama cry no-o-o (Woo) shots gon' fly-y-y
Ya better get lo-o-ow ya wanna ask why-y-y
Ya mama cry no-o-o (Woo)
Yeah, look, yeah
Divine hands serve the blind
Man like Lazarillo
Shells coverin' his body like an armadillo
I got some Salvatrucha bangin'
Out in Amarillo it's hard to grasp, ahki
Why you tryin' to palm a minnow?
I'll have my lawyer eat the case
Like he was Bob Shapiro
The ox bloody, it'll cut you like a Masahiro
Goretex military how we rock apparel
This a murder archetype that's why
I shot the sparrow we ain't the same, ahki
We a different cell type
Goofy's gon' fall for the
Banana in the tailpipe
Doing 2301 is how you earn your jail stripes
I can smell a rat and
Muhfucka you don't smell right
Them jack boys lookin' sloppy
Tryna retire Papi
'Cause motherfuckers here before
You like Passamaquoddy
Every bar is animated like it's Myazaki
Whatever live inside the body
Die inside the body toma!
Shots gon' fly-y-y (Ha ha ha ha ha)
Ya better get lo-o-ow (Hijo de puta)
Ya wanna ask why-y-y (yeah! Stallone, salute)
Ya mama cry no-o-o
(Woo, Chinaski Black, salute)
Shots gon' fly-y-y ya better get lo-o-ow
Ya wanna ask why-y-y
Ya mama cry no-o-o (Woo)
One-two, yeah, look, yeah
Yeah, this dummy ask if
She can touch the jewelry get out my mitt
