After a career spanning three decades Aaron 'Tech N9ne' Yates needs
no gimmicks or tricks to convince you to ride with him on his Strange
journey . The music at this point can literally sell itself.
Tech's fourteenth studio album "Strangeulation" hit #5 on the
Billboard charts in its first week of release, without any obvious
singles hitting nationwide, and without that "flavor of the minute"
buzz that newly signed or recently discovered emcees have...

Tweet Not Therapeutic Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne has been a part of the hip hop scene for over 20 years. He has released over 13 full length LPs and on his latest EP Therapy, Tech delves into uncharted territory: metal. In the past, many artists have switched styles. Some were successful like Bob Dylan trading his acoustic guitar for an electric six string in 1965. Others though have failed at the attempt such as KISS going disco. Unfortunately Therapy falls in the latter category...

Having released this past summer, Tech N9ne (otherwise known as rapper who stays on his grind) is already back with new EP . Working with legendary nu-metal producer Ross Robinson (Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit), the 11-track album takes a trip to the alternative realm of rap, which Tech N9ne also excels at. While initially it doesn't sound like a hip-hop album, long-time collaborative producer Seven offers familiar instrumentals and a backbone that match Tech's powerful vocals...

Tech N9ne opens "Something Else" like a horror/science fiction movie. It begins with a meteor strike in Pleasant Hill, Missouri. The setting was chosen purposefully so that the impact of the strike "could be felt as far away as downtown Kansas City" with "tremors in high rise office buildings." N9ne is the most famous export of the KC rap scene, and the top star of the Strange Music imprint, which is itself headquartered in Lees Summit, Missouri (where the "impact" would no doubt be felt as...

Building on the pop and polish of his 2011 release All 6's and 7's, this 2013 effort from Tech N9ne finds the angry and angsty rapper bringing back some of the horror show rap of his early days, which is good, because now his nightmares are not only vivid, but incredibly well-funded. Tortured souls looking to enter the ring (or pit) couldn't ask for a more epic entrance theme than "Straight Out the Gate," which throws a children's choir, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, and an orchestra into a...
