Anybody Killa

James Clemmie Lowery (born June 26, 1974), also known as Anybody Killa, or ABK, is an American rapper from Detroit, Michigan, United States, whose stage persona is that of a Native American warrior.

He was signed to Psychopathic Records, but is now under his own label Native World Inc. Prior to performing as ABK he performed as Native Funk.

Lowery was raised on the east side of Detroit.

His parents were from Pembroke, North Carolina.

Lowery's father was a preacher.

His aunt and mother taught him about Native American heritage, telling him Cherokee and Lumbee legends and teaching him about dreamcatchers.

Lowery started making music at a young age, using anything he could find as instruments, and began writing his own songs at the age of 13.

By the age of 15, local kids were paying to watch him perform in his garage.

In 1995, he formed the group Krazy Klan with childhood friend Lavel, performing as Jaymo and J-ho, respectively.

During this period, Lowery worked at a side plant that produced parts for Chrysler.

His middle finger was partially cut off in an accident.

After releasing two albums independently and performing at local clubs and parties, Krazy Klan broke up.

Seeking a solo career under the stage name "Native Funk," Lowery released his first solo album, Rain from the Sun.

After being introduced to rapper Chris Rouleau, known professionally as "Blaze Ya Dead Homie," Lowery adopted the stage name "Anybody Killa," and the two toured as the opening act for Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid.

They also created the group Drive-By, and released their first single, "Foodang".

Lowery signed to Psychopathic Records, and recorded his second album, Hatchet Warrior, released on April 8, 2003.

It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart, #42 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and #98 on the Billboard 200.

Allmusic reviewer Johnny Loftus wrote that "Mostly, Hatchet Warrior is a rehash of [Psychopathic Records] mystique. References to Faygo abound and shout-outs to Detroit and the Juggalos are frequent, while much of ABK et al.'s raps are workmanlike run-throughs of familiar themes".

On July 27, 2004, Lowery released his third album, Dirty History.

It peaked at #7 on the Top Heatseekers chart, #10 on the Top Independent Albums, #53 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and #152 on the Billboard 200.

Lowery also joined the groups Dark Lotus and Psychopathic Rydas, performing in the latter as "Sawed Off."

Lowery and Rouleau also formed the group Drive-By.

The EP Road Fools, released on March 22, 2005, peaked at #23 on the Top Independent Albums chart.

In 2006, Lowery left Psychopathic, continuing to release albums and merchandise from his Native World label.

He rereleased "Rain from the Sun" with the Rattlesnake EP, as well as the Black Halloween EP, Orange Halloween EP, Detroit Warriors: Strike 1 Mixx, Detroit Warriors: Strike 2 Mixx, and Holiday Jingles EP in 2006.

In 2007, Lowery performed Main Stage at the Gathering of the Juggalos, and returned to Psychopathic Records the following year.

The Devilish EP, and Frosty The Dopeman EP were released in 2007.

ABK returned to the label in 2008, and released Mudface.

The album featured Insane Clown Posse, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Strict 9, and Boondox.

The pamphlet in the album advertised his upcoming album, to be called Possessed.

He later revealed that the idea had been scrapped.

In 2010 he released his next album, titled Medicine Bag.

The album featured the songs scrapped from Possessed, two on each version of the album.

The Perception vs Reality EP was released in 2012.

The December 21, 2012 edition of the Juggalo publication the Hatchet Herald indicated that Lowery would release a new album in 2013, which he confirmed would be titled Shapeshifter.

ABK released the Don't Let Go EP in 2013.

On March 28, 2014 Anybody Killa posted on his official Twitter account that his new album was almost finished.

In the April 11, 2014 Hatchet Herald, it was announced that ABK would release a greatest hits album titled The Perfection Collection on June 10, 2014.

In a June 2014 interview with YadaMedia, ABK discussed his two new albums coming out on Psychopathic Records: Shapeshifter and Road Fools 2.

During his 2014 GOTJ seminar, it was announced that he and Big Hoodoo had created a new group called Tha Hav Knots, which he said might incorporate more people other than just himself and Big Hoodoo.
