As the Insane Clown Posse heads out to begin a tour this week, they will have to do so knowing that they no longer have a major label backing them. Island Def Jam failed to renew ICP’s contract, leaving them with a tour and a new album to deal with on their own.
Island Def Jam will still distribute the ICP albums that they put out, including The Great Milenko, The Amazing Jeckel Brothers, Bizzar and Bizaar. ICP released an album with Collaborators Twiztid and Blaze Ya Dead Homie, under the band name Dark Lotus. They are launching a US tour with the collective called the Hatcher Rising Tour, which kicks off in Seattle on September 28.
ICP also have a new album coming out on their own, which will be their eighth. Their own label Psychopathic Records could release the album but it will lack the distribution that Island Def Jam allowed them. They are currently seeking another major label deal.
