Dramatic music builds to a heightened crescendo as fans with Tech N9NE painted on their bodies begin to scream: enter Tech N9ne.
There is a lot to be said about an artist that remains true to themselves. Tech N9ne is a rapper that maintains his edge and his cult following through the years. Hammer who was originally vilified for selling out is now looked at as a Hip Hop pioneer. Rap is moving up in the world. Snoop Dog was a guest star on a soap opera and Ice tea, Will Smith and LL. Cool J have recurring roles in television series and films. That’s why its interesting and even refreshing to write about an artist that truly stays in their own lane.
Money B. from the Digital Underground respects Tech N9ne. Money B. explains,” I have a lot of respect for him his music and his hustle..he definitely has a serious fan base I was in Australia and all they did was talk about Tech N9ne.”
The artist that officially came out on “The Anthem “video with Sway and King Tech says “ that Sway and King Tech are the reason that a lot of people know about him and they didn’t have to do that”. He recently ran into Sway on The Rock the Bells tour and said,” we kicked it like donkeys.”
Washington radio producer Cristina Payne who is also Sway’s godsister says,” John is the reason I got into radio. He’s very thorough he has that gift to see into a deeper lever of who god has made you to be. He’s definitely a special spirit he pushes for that in order for him to be better he wants you to be better .”
In 2008 Tech N9ne experienced what many rappers dream about he hit the million album sales mark. Tech N9ne says ,”can you believe it that’s insanity… we were touring Amsterdam and I was on the back of the bus and I said Oh my God we gotta keep going.” He says his camp just goes with the flow and hopes the blessings keep coming.
Mizz Marie Network of Group Entertainment says Tech N9ne is definitely a powerful artist who is hard to categorize,” he’s an independent a lot of major labels don’t know how to handle and artist like him and their afraid of him. The industry looks at an artist like this and says I think he’s going to create a lot of trouble for us.”
Where many artists are attempting to follow the industry formula Tech N9ne continues to break new ground with awe inspiring performances and spectacle.
His showcases transform simple stages into theatrical pieces and audiences seldom leave disappointed. His journey into the darker side of Hip Hop has mesmerized fans and like a demented pied piper he skillfully continues to draw audiences in. His 2009 album 'Sickology'" features the track "Nothin" featuring Messy Marv and Big Scoob. The track "Red Nose" almost becomes a theme song for the industry's attitudes towards him.
Tech N9ne says he appreciates his adoring fans and understands his responsibility. He cheerfully speaks about fans who paint his name on their bodies.
He states,” you can’t do nothing stupid or something ignorant because people have their face on you ,,,there are things you can’t do when people put their face on your body you can’t erase that.”
