Psychopathic Records(tm) was founded in 1992 to represent Insane Clown Posse and within a few years has brought the band to the level of national recognition. "The Wraith: Shangri-La" marks a change of image for Insane Clown Posse, as the band's previously hidden positive messages are brought to the surface.

Says band front man Violent J, "The Sixth 'Joker's Card' is more than the end of an era - it's the start of something entirely new, with a message for everybody." Manager, and President of Psychopathic Records, Alex Abbiss adds, "Everybody thinks they know who Insane Clown Posse are, but clowns never stay the same for long. People are in for a surprise with this album. We're taking this final message to the world."
