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".

Vinnie Paz Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, one-two!
Yeah, yeah, one-two! Haha!
Yeah, Papo Andy forever! A'ight - yeah!

You don't want Vinnie to pop the
Trunk 'cause it's under there
The snakes is venomous so be wary
What's in the jungle here
It's Unga-Bunga's here
You'll be trapped inside of a bunker here

You in the gutter where you'll
Be pissin' inside your underwear
You suddenly become aware of all
Of the blood that's here shovels here
Coco liquor up inside the Tupperware
We makin' supper here
Take your Wallys and your other pairs
It's undercovers there
And a couple of drunken Russians there
A tons of guns appear
And it's cartridges in abundance here
It's mafuckas armed to the teeth
It's like we the Bundeswehr
We took a tunnel there
To the sewer it wasn't traceable
The blicky go up under your chin
And blow out your nasal roof
The best hustle
The neck muscles is like a Saber tooth
The Tec touch you
The TEC cut through while we raise your roof
We standin' on the top of Olympus
What did you say to Zeus?
The body count pilin', we
Wildin', it's not debatable, yeah!

My commission, sit at the table
Like the last supper, fucker
We unholy, sharp razor
Full bloodied money maker where ever we at
We keep the blicks right there
My commission, sit at the table
Like the last supper, fucker
We unholy, sharp razor
Full bloodied money maker where ever we at
We keep the blicks right there

This a Gucci satchel, ahki
It's made from a fuckin' alligator
Frank Sheeran shooters'll murk and suck
On a Now & Later take a pile of data
Distribute it to the allocator
Runnin' foul on nature
Laboratories and calibrators
Sawed shotty got a nickname
And it's The Evaporator
Take it back to pages and
El Dorado's and activators
My collaborators is piled inside
Of an abdicator
He don't wanna brawl, he don't want a war
He a trap devador
Trips down south and we goin'
Down to Atlanta later
Needles and a bone saw
Homie I'm the reanimator
Parody young powerful socca pan updater
Yoppa drain ya bodily fluids
Like it's an aspirator
Thoughts is all deadly
They desecratin' the scrap of paper
Agitator, shotty will spin him like
He a barrel maker
Fortress roll-by's reactivated eradicator
Pistol Gang pop 'em and drop
'em in the volcanic crater yeah!

My commission, sit at the table
Like the last supper, fucker
We unholy, sharp razor
Full bloodied money maker whereever we at
We keep the blicks right there
My commission, sit at the table
Like the last supper, fucker
We unholy, sharp razor
Full bloodied money maker where ever we at
We keep the blicks right there
