Tech N9ne
Tech N9ne steps with a cadence of dark lyrics harmonized and delivered at a rapid rate to vibrate the very heart of the soul.
Streaming together a complexity of tongue twisting sounds he is definitely one of the most under-rated artists destroying the underground hip hop scene. He's been in the game for a long time. Which leaves me disappointed that I've only recently just discovered him.
The Discovery
I was first struck by his harmonic delivery and lyrical prowess on his track " Sickology 101 " featuring Crooked I and Chino XL.
Released as a digital single on March 31, 2009, it slowly made its way to my ears. When I first heard it I had to hear it again. It was one of those tracks that impressed me so much it took a while for me to tire of it. Not only was his verse tight but Crooked I kills it with his constant consonant cracking while Chino XL finishes it off.
Making Strange Music
Starting his Strange Music record label with partner Travis O'guin back in 2000 he has risen in rank and in skill. Building a successful record label and expanding his reach across the globe.
Surpassing a total of 1,000,000 independent record sales in 2008, Tech and Strange Music have a strong hold within the underground hip hop world. Continuously pushing the threshold between underground and mainstream...he continues to draw fans worldwide. Of course like any great artist how great could he be if he was ever satisfied with his accomplishments?
Forged Through Challenges
Life has a way to continuously challenge and test us.These challenges forge through the fires of passions and the cold rains of pain the sharpest blades and most magnificent works of art that humanity has been known to birth. You can tell by listening to Tech N9ne and many other great artists that their art serves as a form of therapy for them.
Helping to get by through the toughest of challenges that life tends to throw our way. With that said K.O.D. was a piece of work made through these kinds of challenges. K.O.D., meaning King of Darkness, is his most recent album released back in October of 2009. On March 30, 2010 there will be an additional release to K.O.D. called " The Lost Scripts of K.O.D. "
