Anybody Killa – Hatchet Warrior (2003)

January 16, 2024

ABK often gets it in the neck for being a shining example of the shit that Psychopathic used to sign in the 00s. Personally, I think Boondox is infinitely shittier, but that’s another story for another time. It is true, some – if not most – of the tracks where ABK stands solo on this thing are just absolutely appalling. However there are collabs that prop up other tracks, and the backbone of ICP and the Psychopathic mixing staff gluing shit together. This leaves us with a surprising number of entertaining songs for an album that on first listen resulted in a reaction of physical revulsion. I’m gonna have to peep more ABK records to be sure, but because of the guest spots and fat production, this record has scraped through by the skin of its nuts.
