Insane Poetry is an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 1988, Insane Poetry is considered to be one of the first horrorcore groups. The group was formed by Cyco after he gained residency as a disc jockey at a Los Angeles radio station. With members DJ Streek and Shakespear the One-Man Riot, Insane Poetry released their debut single, “Twelve Strokes Till Midnight” in 1988. After replacing Shakespear with Em-Dee, Insane Poetry were signed to Nastymix Records through an association with rapper Rodney O, and released their debut album, Grim Reality in 1992. It peaked at #98 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. After Nastymix was disestablished, Insane Poetry signed to Polygram Records, releasing their second album, Blacc Plague in 1996, but disagreements over promotion and support led Insane Poetry to leave the label. In 1998, Cyco appeared on Vanilla Ice’s Hard to Swallow album, followed by collaborations with M-Boogie, Dilated Peoples, and DJ Revolution. In 2003, Cyco, the only remaining member of Insane Poetry, released Faith in Chaos, followed by Fallen From Grace in 2007.

Members: Andrew Holiman (aka Cyco; Psycho), DJ Streek, Jason “JP” Pearl, Shakespeare The One Man Riot
