Joseph Bruce, better known by his stage name Violent J, is an American rapper, record producer, and professional wrestler. He is a member of the hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse, and is the co-founder of the independent record label Psychopathic Records.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Bruce began his music career in the hip hop group Inner City Posse before founding Insane Clown Posse along with fellow rapper Joseph Utsler in 1989. Insane Clown Posse gained a following in the early 1990s with their unique brand of hardcore rap, which often incorporated elements of horror and the supernatural.

The group’s first album, Carnival of Carnage, was released in 1992 and was followed by a series of successful albums that established the duo as one of the most popular rap groups in the world. In addition to his work with Insane Clown Posse, Bruce has also released several solo albums and has collaborated with other artists such as Twiztid and Blaze Ya Dead Homie.

As a wrestler, Bruce is best known for his appearances with the independent promotion Juggalo Championship Wrestling, where he is a former two-time JCW Heavyweight Champion.

Bruce was born Joseph Bruce on April 28, 1972, in Detroit, Michigan. He is of African-American and German descent. Bruce’s mother, Beverly, was a singer; his father, Joseph Bruce Sr., was a bass player. Bruce has two older brothers, John and Kenneth.

Bruce’s parents divorced when he was three years old; he and his brothers were then raised by their mother and stepfather, Robert “Bobby” Stewart. Stewart was a high-ranking member of the Black Mafia, which also influenced Bruce’s later interest in hip hop.

Bruce began his music career in the late 1980s as a member of the hip hop group Inner City Posse. The group was composed of Bruce, Utsler, Esham Smith, and other local rappers. Inner City Posse released its first album, Carnival of Carnage, in 1992. The album was a success, selling over 50,000 copies.

In 1993, Bruce and Utsler founded the record label Psychopathic Records. The label’s first release was the album Carnival of Carnage. Psychopathic Records went on to release several more albums by Insane Clown Posse and other artists associated with the label.

In 1997, Bruce and Utsler began appearing as professional wrestlers on the independent circuit. They made their debut for Juggalo Championship Wrestling at the company’s first event, Bloodymania. Bruce and Utsler have since appeared regularly for JCW, wrestling other wrestlers such as Sabu and New Jack.

Bruce is a two-time JCW Heavyweight Champion, having won the title in 2000 and 2003. He has also held the JCW Tag Team Championship on two occasions, first with Utsler as part of The Oddities (a tag team also featuring New Jack and Sabu) and then with partner Corporal Robinson.

Bruce has released several solo albums outside of his work with Insane Clown Posse. His debut album, The Shining Path, was released in 2008. The album peaked at number seven on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.

Bruce’s net worth is estimated to be $10 million. He has earned most of his wealth from his music career, particularly from his work with Insane Clown Posse. In addition to his music earnings, Bruce has also made money from his wrestling career and from his work as a record producer.
