Hatchet Warrior (Explict)
About This Album
Anybody Killa's full-length debut for the Psychopathic collective arrived on the heels of his support of compatriot Blaze Ya Dead Homie on the latter's 1 Less G n da Hood, as well as an appearance at the 2002 Gathering of the Juggalos. Killa, aka ABK, aka Native Funk, aka Jaymo, aka James Lowery, contributes his "Hatchet Warrior" persona to the ever-expanding mythology behind the Insane Clown Posse empire, at the heart of which are the clowns themselves, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. Both make their presence felt on Hatchet Warrior, which also features significant contributions from Psychopathic stalwarts Blaze and Esham. A native of the Lumbee tribe, ABK's particular take on the gangsta tradition is shot through with violent Native American imagery. In a spoken introduction, he acts as a mouthpiece for all the "lost warriors," whose blood soaks "into the roots and trees, giving strength to Mother Earth." He laments the loss of his people's land and heralds the arrival of a savior type, the "killa of anybody," who "kills until the future is fulfilled." It's heady stuff, cleverly intersecting Native American lore with the modern-day thug ethos. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
