Their debut, ''Grim Reality'', was acclaimed for its approach to the style, which was purely horrorcore in its first half, which focused on horror movie-inspired fantasies, and then switched to a fusion of horrorcore and [[Political Rap]] in the second half, which was largely based around more realistic stories. The group members were Cyco, Shakespeare the One-Man Riot, Em-Dee and DJ Streak. |

Insane Poetry has made sporadic appearances over the years. Cyco dropped guest verses for [[Vanilla Ice]]'s ''Hard To Swallow'' and ''Bi-Polar'' in 1998 and 2002; in the latter case V-Ice actually [[Covered Up]] Insane Poetry's own song "O.K.S."; Insane Poetry's album ''Faith in Chaos'' contained a version in which Cyco performed both verses, while Ice's ''Bi-Polar'' album featured Ice rapping the first verse. Beginning in 2008, Cyco, the only remaining member of the group, has been teaming up with producer Sutter Kain, who brought a [[Death Metal]]-based sound reminiscent of [[Necro]]. |
