Jedi Mind Tricks

Sunday, October 1, Bluebird Theater, 1-866-468-7621; Monday, October 2, Fox Theatre, Boulder, 303-443-3399.

Vinnie Paz, Stoupe and DJ Kwestion have to be some of the hardest-working cats in indie/underground hip-hop. Although their group, Jedi Mind Tricks, has released only four albums in its ten-year existence, the three are the brains behind lauded projects from Outerspace and Army of the Pharaohs and had a hand in producing albums from Canibus and 7L & Esoteric. Jedi Mind Tricks is now touring in support of its fifth album, Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell, due later this year. The album doesn't stray too much from what the crew is known for -- Paz's gruff voice, Stoupe's dark production and Kwestion's precision cuts and scratches. And little has changed from a lyrical standpoint: Jedi has always been politically charged with a gangsta's edge, and those same themes emerge on Servants, where the trio sets its sights on everything from the government and religion to the current state of hip-hop and even their own childhoods.
