Anybody Killa

Anybody Killa, the masked MC, first surfaced inside the Psychopathic Records and Insane Clown Posse orbit toward the end of the 1990s. He contributed vocals to recordings by aligned acts including Twizted, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Esham, and also appeared on ICP’s The Wraith: Shangri-La. A series of 2002 live dates, most prominently his set at that year’s Gathering of the Juggalos, built anticipation for his debut full-length, which arrived as Hatchet Warrior in April 2003. The album fused visual themes rooted in ABK’s Native American ancestry with brutal gangsta sensibilities, while its rhymes carried the familiar Psychopathic blend of gallows humor, pro-marijuana references, and mentions of Faygo soda alongside the city of Detroit. Later that summer ABK joined a reunited Body Count for a run of shows supporting the release.
