Featured Artist of the Week

Tech N9ne 
Birthplace: 
Kansas City, MO


Tech N9ne isn't the most popular emcee on the planet. At first glance, Tech N9ne doesn't seem to be a huge part of mainstream hip hop. But after a quick read through of his resume,  you might think differently. In the early years of his career, Tech N9ne belonged to a variety of record labels and hip hop duos and trios. In 1999 he was featured on the legendary hip hop song "The Anthem" with the likes of Eminem, RZA, and Xzibit. In 2002, Techs album Absolute Power debuted at number 79 on the Billboard 200. Recently he released Bad Season, a mixtape receiving some high praise from fellow emcees and critics alike. But there are other places you may have heard some Tech N9ine. Madden NFL, Fight Night Round 4, and Ea Sports: MMA are just a few of the video games to feature songs by Tech N9ne. He also has tracks featured in multiple movies and television shows. Check out "Ego trippin" & "Losin my mind" off of Tech's latest mixtape Bad Season.
