Insane Clown Posse is a rap duo from South West Detroit that has caused much controversy in their lengthy career, and is most known for their stage performances and Dark Carnival gimmick. But before they were the successful empire they are now, they were a gang/rap group called the Inner City Posse, and before that, they were under the title The JJ Boys.
As far as the JJ Boys go, there isn't a whole lot to talk about. During this period, Joseph Bruce (Violent J) and Joseph Ustler (Shaggy 2 Dope) weren't taking their rap careers seriously, and only one song is known to be under that name, the song being "Party On The Top Of The Hill". It was only distributed to family and friends, so the likeliness of it ever appearing outside of family and close friend circles are slim to none.
On the other hand, Inner City Posse's Ghetto Territory and Enter The Ghetto Zone are EPs that are just extremely rare. They were passed around high schools in the area for free, and not many copies were made. It is possible that they're just singles from the "Dog Beats", but whether they're alternate versions or not, we may never know.
If "Intelligence And Violence" is anything to go off of, the quality of the cassettes are extremely poor, being made with two karaoke machines (one playing the beat, the other one recording), and Violent J sticking his head in between them rapping. It's also safe to assume that he used other artists' instrumentals (considering that was the case on "Intelligence and Violence").
