American hip hop recording artist Ron "Necro" Braunstein has released seven studio albums, four extended plays (including one dubbed as 'double EP'), 30 compilation albums (including 2 box sets), three mixtapes with his older brother Ill Bill, and over 40 singles.
As a part of thrash metal trio Injustice, the band self-released two demo tapes in 1989 and 1990. In 1998, Necro released his debut extended play Cockroaches EP via Uncle Howie Records. Since founding Psycho+Logical-Records in November 1999, Necro has been releasing music through his own independent record label.

The duo released two compilation albums The Pre-Kill Vol. 1 and The Pre-Kill Volume II composed of previously released solo songs in 2012, and also contributed to Necro's Murder Murder Kill Kill Double EP, before the release of their debut studio album Once Upon A Crime in 2013.
At the end of 2023, Necro, together with Ill Bill, released 2 singles “Blood Brothers” and “Madness” for the first joint album Blood Brothers, the release of which was initially scheduled for 2024.
On a July 21, 2024 Facebook post entitled ASK ME ANYTHING?!, a fan asked the following: "Are you and ILL BiLL gonna drop a album soon Madness my favorite track" Necro's response was, "NOPE - PROJECT IS DEADED."

Non Phixion is an American hip-hop group from Brooklyn, New York City. Though the group did not become a household name during their initial period of activity, the Village Voice said Non Phixion was "integral to the timeline of underground hip-hop." The group endured a series of missed opportunities on their way to their only LP release and broke up after their first decade. In the months leading up to the 20th anniversary of their formation, the group reunited and as of 2021 was still active and touring. Their logo is a direct nod to the Canadian metal band Voivod.
William Braunstein, professionally known by his stage name Ill Bill, is an American rapper and record producer from Brooklyn, New York City. Having gained fame in the underground hip hop group Non Phixion, Ill Bill is known for his diverse lyrics and as the producer, founder and CEO of Uncle Howie Records. His brother Ron is rapper and producer Necro.
Ron Raphael Braunstein, professionally known by his stage name Necro, is an American rapper and record producer from New York City. He founded his own independent record label Psycho+Logical-Records in November 1999.

Visions of Gandhi is the third studio album from underground hip hop group Jedi Mind Tricks, and their first album on the Babygrande record label. Jus Allah split from the group after the release of their album Violent by Design (2000), returning the group back to its original lineup of Vinnie Paz, Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind and DJ Drew Dollars. Producer Stoupe expands his dark sounds, including beats with grand orchestral samples and Latin-tinged production. Vinnie Paz lessens his lyrical topics to focus on his thug persona. Album guests include Canibus, Kool G Rap, Percee P, Ras Kass, and Tragedy Khadafi, as well as underground peers Crypt the Warchild, Planetary of OuterSpace, and Non Phixion members Ill Bill, Sabac Red, and Goretex.
The Pre-Fix for Death is the third studio album by American horrorcore musician Necro. It was released on September 21, 2004 through Psycho+Logical-Records.

It was the first studio album Necro released since signing with Koch Distribution in July 2007. As the title suggests, the album is Necro's return to emphasis on gore and violence, rather than sex, such as in his 2005 album The Sexorcist. Pre-orders of the album were shipped with a limited edition bonus DVD that contained an unreleased music video and six live performances. Like his last album, Necro chose not to place a parental advisory sticker on the cover.
I Need Drugs is the debut studio album by the American rapper Necro, released on November 7, 2000, by Psycho+Logical-Records.

The album spawned one single, "The Most Sadistic", and a music video for the title track.
