Cracked Tiles is the debut album from the juggalo rock project Zug Izland, which was started by Violent J of the Insane Clown Posse. It was released in 2003 with all lyrics written by Violent J. Among all the tracks, the song "Cry" is probably the most recognizable as Zug's remake/version of "Cry Little Sister" originally done by Gerard McMann for The Lost Boys soundtrack.
