Jedi mind tricks the thief and the fallen intro
The Thief and the Fallen is the eighth studio album by underground Philadelphia hip hop duo Jedi Mind Tricks. It is the first Jedi Mind Tricks album in seven years produced by founding member Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind who had left the band before their 2011 album Violence Begets Violence (highest charting album by JMT to date) which was produced by associates of Army of the Pharaohs. Former member Jus Allah (who rejoined the group in 2006) left again in 2013 without citing his reasons, making this the first Jedi Mind Tricks album without him since their critically acclaimed 2006 album Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell. The album would fall just outside the top 100 sitting at 105 on the Billboard charts after its first week.
