The album peaked in the Top 20 of the Billboard Heatseekers and Independent Albums charts, recruiting Canibus, Kool G Rap, Ras Kass, Esoteric, and more.

The newly minted trio issued sophomore effort Violent by Design in late 2000, marking the group's last album before signing to Babygrande. The set featured appearances by Apathy, Black Thought, and Jus Allah, who officially joined JMT soon after. One year later, they gained a bigger cult following with their first full-length, The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness. The founding duo released their debut, the Amber Probe EP, in 1996. Over the decades, additional members DJ Kwestion, Jus Allah, and DJ Drew Dollars rotated in and out of the line-up, from their 1997 debut The Psycho-Social, Chemical, Biological & Electro-Magnetic Manipulation of Human Consciousness, to late 2010s output The Thief and the Fallen and The Bridge and the Abyss. Underground hip-hop outfit Jedi Mind Tricks was formed in Philadelphia in the early '90s by high school friends Kevin Baldwin (aka Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind) and Vincenzo Luvineri (aka Vinnie Paz).
