Vincenzo Luvineri, better known as Vinnie Paz, is an United States|American rapper and the lyricist behind the Philadelphia underground hip hop group Jedi Mind Tricks. He is also a part of hip hop group Army of the Pharaohs.
Originally taking the pseudonym of Ikon the Verbal Hologram, he later changed his name to Vinnie Paz, after the Rhode Island boxer Vinny Paz. Paz originally started rapping with fellow Jedi Mind Tricks member Stoupe in his basement. Paz is known for his raw and gritty lyrical delivery. This is partly due to the metal plates inserted inside his mouth, visible in several videos, such as ''Heavy Metal Kings feat. Ill Bill''. This gritty style of Paz became apparent with the release of the now classic ''Violent by Design'', and has gotten progressively more defined since its release. Vinnie Paz has a number of aliases, including Louie Doggs, The Pazmanian Devil, Frank Vinatra (as told in On the Eve of War with GZA), and Vin Laden.
