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 Compleat Witch
Vinnie Paz Lyrics
Ex childs of Light, listen close
And listen clear! You cannot stop me now
The seven points have come
Together! The Third star has merged
For 18 days you have tortured me, as of now!
Don't you realize that any other mortal
Man would have fallen to you
By now?! And every day - my
Power! - mhhh - fills!
But your power gets darkened and darker
No chill in power hill with the pill press
Crackin' seals for a little
Zest pack still fresh
Drop the address all access
In the flesh Moroccan Hashish, them gases
Spin on badges, little bastards off acid
Asterisk the world's wocky
Got the choppy off Akhi in the lobby
Leavin' my auntie at the ristorante
With a joint lookin' like Ashanti
Dipped on the cotty
Paint the town like Dondi
Skipped on the bounty
A hundred miles and countin'
Aware of my surroundings
Since a fountain out of housing
My physicals will doubt you
Enemies befriend you wicked bitches end you
So I keep my favorite utensil
Put two in your Kenzo
You and your kin too, it's simple
Niggas'll sin you
It's crazy when the Benelli fires
It'll stick you to the street
Like it's Pirelli tires we count money
Ahki you can't sneak a penny by us
My ahkis on they deen, homie plenty pious
Adoration of The Magi by Botticelli
One day at a time, Valerie Bertinelli
Rhyme is intricate designs, Elsa Schiaparelli
These 32 bullets is longer than Vermicelli
We was dumb high singin' Guantanamera
While I watched Cordillera with mi abuela
Ten times outta ten cowards'l' lose
You a vic and I had
You comin' outta your shoes
You was insecure homie, you was lonely inside
You ain't got nobody
You ain't got no homies to ride
This a bloodbath over here, furious wars
It's banana clips everywhere, Curious George
Batiman! Hijo de puta!
I can't take twelve more days of torture!
Because if I do
Then the pit of Purple Haze will come
You talk about me being off the mainstream
I see you carry the Old
Egyptian ways around your finger
Haha - Haha - Hahaa - Hah
And listen clear! You cannot stop me now
The seven points have come
Together! The Third star has merged
For 18 days you have tortured me, as of now!
Don't you realize that any other mortal
Man would have fallen to you
By now?! And every day - my
Power! - mhhh - fills!
But your power gets darkened and darker
No chill in power hill with the pill press
Crackin' seals for a little
Zest pack still fresh

Spin on badges, little bastards off acid
Asterisk the world's wocky
Got the choppy off Akhi in the lobby
Leavin' my auntie at the ristorante
With a joint lookin' like Ashanti
