The group is composed of high school friends rapper Vinnie Paz (born Vincenzo Luvineri, formerly known as Ikon the Verbal Hologram) and producer/DJ Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind (born Kevin Baldwin). They recruited New Jersey rapper Jus Allah (born James Bostick) for their second album Violent by Design. Though he left after the creation of that album, he was later taken back, as stated by Vinnie. DJ Kwestion is also a part of the group, mainly scratching choruses on the turntable. Kwestion (or Kwes) is also a part of the group Skratch Makaniks. Kwestion was a replacement for JMT's previous tour DJ, Drew Dollars, who inexplicably is no longer affiliated with the group. JMT has a long list of collaborations with both regional MCs and rap veterans, including GZA, Kool G Rap, 7L & Esoteric, Sean Price, Ras Kass, Canibus, Percee P, Killah Priest, Louis Logic, R.A. the Rugged Man, Tragedy Khadafi, and Ill Bill. The group has sold 250,000 albums in the United States and 300,000 albums worldwide, all of which were released independently.
