We’ve got some pretty personal news to share, Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
For those of you that haven’t been to my house, the studio is probably, you know, 40 yards from my front door.

So, I noticed walking out to the studio every day, by the time I got to the f------ studio, I was like, winded… , Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
Then when I’d walk up to my mailbox at the front, I’d be like, ‘Oh f---, I’ve got to take a break.’ What the f---’s the problem, you know?, Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
We went to the hospital to see what’s going on [...] they did what they call an ultrasound… , Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
The lady who was looking at my heart, we could tell she was tripping about something, but she wasn’t a doctor… , Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
She told me, ‘They want you to go straight home, get in bed and they’ll call you first thing in the morning.’, Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
I kinda had a feeling they were gonna tell me to go the hospital when they called [...] basically they just came out and told me, man, I had heart failure.
, Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
I have what they call A-fib [atrial fibrillation].
There’s two types of A-fib, where I understand it: a minor one, and a more serious one, and they told me I got the more serious one, Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
We’re gonna do one more tour next year around the world.
We’re gonna do all the major markets in the United States, and the b-markets, and then we’re gonna go to Europe, Canada and Australia, Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound.
It’s gonna be a slow tour.
It’s only gonna be like three or four shows a week.
It’s gonna be a farewell tour, Violent J, Insane Clown Posse, via Consequence Sound
