Robert Bruce is an American rapper, Psychopathic Records don, and professional wrestler, signed to Psychopathic Records.
Bruce is most commonly known by his stage name Jumpsteady. He is the older brother of Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse, and has been featured on many of their releases, both directly and indirectly, since his debut on their 1992 album Carnival of Carnage. Jumpsteady released the EP The Chaos Theory, and the LP Master of the Flying Guillotine before retiring from rapping in 2006. Bruce came out of retirement in 2012 and is making new music.
Robert Bruce was the second born of three children. His father, Richard Bruce, stole all the family's money and left when Bruce was young. Rob's mother, Linda, was forced to care for him and his siblings, Joe and Theresa, off the income she made as a janitor. One day as a kid, Rob and his brother caught a butterfly, and both were fascinated by the vibrant colors and overall peacefulness of the creature. They kept the butterfly in a jar overnight, and intended to free it the following morning. When they awoke, the brothers found the butterfly had died, and felt as if they had committed a murder. The brothers made a vow that "one day, [they] will make it to heaven, so that [they] can [...] apologize to that Butterfly face-to-face." On every Insane Clown Posse album and EP it reads "Dedicated to the Butterfly" because of this vow. Bruce received all of his clothes from rummage sales, and his food from canned food drives held at his very own school.
When he became of age, Bruce signed up to join the U.S. Army and was stationed at Fort Bragg.Rob was in the U.S. Army from 1988 to 1992. At home, Rob's brother Joe had started a gang known as Inner City Posse. Rob sent him Army-issued tear gas for the gang to use. After a rival gang attacked his mother's house, Joe fled to Bonnie Doone, North Carolina, a trailer park town just outside Fort Bragg. It was there that both Rob and his brother witnessed the open racism which would later emerge as the hate for bigots referenced in their lyrics. Rob went on to fight in the Gulf War as part of the 1st Corps Support Command, better known as COSCOM. Upon returning home, Rob became very vocal against the actions which the government had taken in Desert Storm.
