Dog Beats

Dog Beats is the debut EP from the iconic duo later known as Insane Clown Posse, originally released under the name Inner City Posse in 1991. This groundbreaking record marks the first professional release from the group and the inaugural offering from the legendary Psychopathic Records. Prior to "Dog Beats," the duo had created three homemade "basement tapes," but this EP signaled their entry into the professional music scene with its raw, funky beats and unapologetic lyrics. The EP is a testament to their early style, blending old-school hip-hop with a unique, gritty edge that would become a hallmark of their sound. "Dog Beats" is not just an album; it's a snapshot of a pivotal moment in the careers of Joseph Bruce and Joseph Utsler, capturing the essence of their formative years and setting the stage for their future success.
