There was no major label ? just TECH N9NE's own record company, Strange Music. The July 2008 release, Killer, debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart and Number 12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. With hits like ?I'm A Playa,?Caribou Lou? (which boasts 7.2 million MySpace plays), ?Riotmaker,?Like Yeah? and ?Everybody Move,? it's no wonder TECH N9NE counts a total of over 4.5 million YouTube video plays and an average of 40,000 MySpace visitors each day. It's an open letter to several prominent urban artists who refused to play before him at radio festivals despite his massive concert draw. TECH N9NE's inimitable flow and rhyming take center stage on solo tracks, including the haunting, hypnotic ?Red Nose.? He doesn't pull any punches on the vitriolic, YoungFyre-produced ?Blown Away,? either. When you do a sequel, there has to be a bigger body count and more people have to die. ?Krayzie Bone came through and murdered it,? says TECH N9NE. Meanwhile, on ?Midwest Choppers 2,? TECH N9NE and Krayzie Bone cruise to the depths of darkness. The single, ?Nothin,'? is an inspiring, honest anthem that features Messy Marv and Big Scoob. It's a twisted vision forged on undeniable grooves and quixotic wordplay. On the opening title track, TECH N9NE slays alongside Chino XL and Crooked I, pulling listeners into the Hip-Hop classroom for a lesson in murdering a beat. Sickology 101 brims with stellar appearances from lyrical heavyweights. It all starts with beats because they tell me exactly what to do.? Epic beats from YoungFyre, Wyshmaster, Seven and Matic Lee set the stage for TECH N9NE to weave his introspective and sometimes roguish lyrics around. It's a beginner's course for people who don't know how to be sick lyrically or how to choose sick beats. ?When it came time for Sickology 101, I knew I wanted to do a collabo album based on the study of being sick. ?This is another roller coaster ride,? explains TECH N9NE about the release. With nine solo albums and two powerhouse collaboration projects under his belt, the Kansas City MC's flow is sharper and slicker than it's ever been. He has spent his illustrious career making sure he's been grinding harder than the average rapper, and is the best selling artist out of his hometown. His tenth studio album, K.O.D., was released October 27, 2009. According to the He's a Mental Giant Songfacts, his stage name originated from the TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun, given to him by rapper Black Walt due to his fast rhyming style. His career has spanned over 24 years, during which he has released eleven albums. Aaron Dontez Yates (born Novemin Kansas City, Missouri), better known by his stage name Tech N9ne or Tecca Nina is an American rapper, co-owner of Strange Music Records and actor.
