Will Power is good people. I’m talking really good people, which means any musical submission from him gets treated with added precedence. So when he hit me up on Twitter in regards to this Nikkiya, Tech N9ne and Rittz record, there wasn’t a doubt in my mind the “When I Was High (Remix)” would get played. Read the rest of this entry »

As solid as All 6s and 7s may have been, Tech N9ne’s ear for talent has been significantly less than stellar and, consequentially, his collabo albums are a reflection of that. However, there’s never a better time than the present to prove everyone wrong (myself included) and “Unfair” may just be the one that get’s the ball rolling. Read the rest of this entry »

Less than six months after signing with Strange Music, ¡MAYDAY! is already pumping out tracks with the label’s head honcho Tech N9ne. And, even though the six-piece group from South Florida is currently busy working on their breakthrough debut and touring the country with their new label, this specific slice of sickness originates from the upcoming Welcome To Strangeland compilation, which is due out November 8.

If you want to know why Tech N9ne is the best-selling independent rap artist in Hip-Hop, here’s part of the answer: the guy does not release mixtapes. Read the rest of this entry »

In an era when No Limit Records had the Midas touch, Young Bleed released the cult hit “How Ya Do Dat,” sparking his first glimpses of fame. Unfortunately, none of his other records took off in the same way and he eventually fell into obscurity in the coming years, along with the rest of No Limit. Read the rest of this entry »

Noted as the lead single to All 6s And 7s on a few sites, “Mental Giant” sounds more like it might be Tech N9ne’s street single. Not that it’s a bad thing. Realistically, as amped as this long-lost cousin to Neezle’s classic “Einstein” is, Tech didn’t pay out of pocket for his album’s A-List guest features to put out this typical, high-octane flow show as the radio single. Which is also O.K. Read the rest of this entry »

In the previous decade, Tech N9ne built his name around his unorthodox styles of rap. Whether it was the face paint, hairstyles, or double-time flow, you knew it was his when you heard a Neezle song and nothing about it could not be imitated. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a funny time to be a Tech N9ne fan. For years and years, this underground Kansas City Royal flew under the mainstream radar and was stuck spreading his misconstrued mayhem across the map with simply a relentlessness road show and uncontainable talent. Read the rest of this entry »

Believe it or not, Tech N9ne has more loyal “F.A.N.S.” than probably 90% of hip-hop. As a general offering of gratitude for the all support they’ve shown him after such a long and uphill journey, the KC royalty has released this special dedication to his disciples as added incentive to pre-order the most talked about album of his career, All 6s And 7s.
