The Psycho Realm is an American hip-hop group that originated from the tough streets of Pico-Union in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1989 by brothers Jack Gonzalez aka Sick Jacken and Gustavo Gonzalez aka Big Duke, The Psycho Realm carved a dark, street-savvy niche in the rap world with their gritty narratives and hard-hitting beats. Their music, which frequently weaves in themes of urban struggle, socio-political unrest, and psychological battles, has garnered a cult following, particularly among fans who appreciate the raw storytelling of underground hip-hop.

The group gained notoriety with their self-titled debut album "The Psycho Realm" released in 1997, which included collaborations with B-Real from Cypress Hill, helping to boost their credentials in the industry. After Big Duke was shot in 1999 and left paralyzed, Sick Jacken continued to push the group's name forward. Over the years, The Psycho Realm has expanded their influence, contributing to the hardcore side of the Los Angeles hip-hop scene, while maintaining a consistent presence through albums and projects, including "A War Story - Book 1" and "A War Story - Book 2," showing an unabashed dedication to their gritty storytelling and complex rhythms. With a discography including "Unauthorized Ink," "Psycho Realm Presents Sick Jacken And Cynic In Terror Tapes 2," and a variety of EPs, The Psycho Realm continues to resonate with fans seeking authenticity and musical depth within rap.
