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".

The Black Hand
Vinnie Paz Lyrics
Me not gwan lie every pussy man gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
I ain't chasin' nothin' homie so just
Gimme the bag
Bullets travel at the speed of Thor
Get hit with the mag
You can fuck around, lay around
You can get dragged
I will bomb on motherfuckers like
I'm hittin' the tag
This a death wish homie
Y'all are liable to die
This is Hammurabi Code, this a eye for an eye
I can see inside where his ideology lie
You supposed to supply workers if
You got the supply
Divine retribution, pa, fire and brimstone
It's a trench knife dagger and
It made from a shinbone
Tubular bells ring tone
The Mossberg flex make a change
To your skin tone
There's nothin' changin' everything is
Carved into stone
I will cook 'em till the meat
Falls off of the bone
What's your life like
Akhi? You just sat in the fray
And I'm stayin' in the hood
Like an African braid batiman
Me not gwan lie every pussy man gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
Hey yo, hey yo
Last call house send them shots
At you like bartenders
Blow your brain out of the
Window over the car fender
I'm used to hearin' shit like "trust me
Nigga we got you" same pussy you trust
Same pussy that shot you fake hand shakes
Phoney hugs and all the smirkin'
Never trust a nigga around
You that's never workin'
Down to his last couple dollars
He gettin' nervous
Rob you then get killed for it
It wasn't worth it
Bitches sleep with you then sleep
With your best friend
I don't follow none of you
Dudes I set trends
I ain't tryin' to tell you shit
I'm tryin' to show you
Keep your eyes close on the
Motherfuckers that owe you
You will catch a bullet the
Same minute you jack me
I don't play the shotgun nigga
I want the back seat
I'm from a place where they'll rob
You if you got bread
And clean-cut niggas be grimier
Than a mob head moz
Me not gwan lie every pussy man gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
I ain't chasin' nothin' homie so just
Gimme the bag
Bullets travel at the speed of Thor
Get hit with the mag
You can fuck around, lay around
You can get dragged
I'm hittin' the tag
This a death wish homie
Y'all are liable to die
This is Hammurabi Code, this a eye for an eye
I can see inside where his ideology lie
You supposed to supply workers if
You got the supply
Divine retribution, pa, fire and brimstone
It's a trench knife dagger and
It made from a shinbone
Tubular bells ring tone
The Mossberg flex make a change
To your skin tone
There's nothin' changin' everything is
Carved into stone
I will cook 'em till the meat
Falls off of the bone
What's your life like
Akhi? You just sat in the fray
And I'm stayin' in the hood

Me not gwan lie every pussy man gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
Every batiman gwan die
