Lyrical and Performance Style
Lowery's lyrical content draws heavily from his Native American heritage. Lowery refers to his style as being "like a spiritual rap". He states that "I get a vibe from dreams, more or less. That's where a lot of my writing comes from. That and a lot of my fans' personal experiences. It's their music, my fans' music. I'm just putting it to words behind lyrics for them." In his review of Hatchet Warrior, Johnny Loftus describes the album as crossing Native American culture with gangsta rap and horror themes and humor derived from Juggalo and cannabis culture. Lowery has a lisp, which gives him a distinctive delivery. According to Lowery, "A lot of fans will say, 'Oh, he's just doing that to make it up.' Why would I want to make up a lisp while I'm rappin? I wish it was gone sometimes but a lot of people love it." In his interview in a 2008 documentary called Shockumentary-Behind the hatchet, Lowery said he would be staying with Psychopathic Records once and for all.

Famous quotes containing the words performance and/or style:
“The audience is the most revered member of the theater. Without an audience there is no theater. Every technique learned by the actor, every curtain, every flat on the stage, every careful analysis by the director, every coordinated scene, is for the enjoyment of the audience. They are our guests, our evaluators, and the last spoke in the wheel which can then begin to roll. They make the performance meaningful.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
“Always, however brutal an age may actually have been, its style transmits its music only.”
—André Malraux (1901–1976)
