You can't really appreciate the Strange Music movement until you see it live, and after seeing Tech and Krizz Kaliko almost literally set a stage on fire the other week in L.A., I appreciate the fuck out of the Strange Music movement. And now that Tech is firmly planted as the most powerful indie rapper int he country, the crew have decided to swing the spotlight onto Krizz. Listen and download...
Rapper signs to a major label. Rapper is far from your usual rapper, major label has no idea what to do with him, deal falls apart. Rapper decides to go back to making music independently and builds a loyal fanbase who love his original style. Rapper then re-signs with a major label on his terms and becomes an established star.

I don't know if folks outside the hardcore Strange Music fan base realizes what's happening here. By signing Mayday, my unadulterated bandwagon pick, Tech not only picks up one of the dopest live hip-hop crews working, he got himself one hell of a back-up band. Listen and download...
I know a lot of people didn't listen to me when I said that Nikkiya's new album "SpeakHER" was doper than some uncut Malaysian White Tiger, but maybe now that the experimental songstress has grabbed the most powerful man in indie music Tech N9ne and the best rapper alive (with giant red hair) Rittz for a remix to "When I Was High" y'all will finally listen.
Months after the release of their bluesy tune "Night Train," Joell Ortiz and Novel have released a remix of the song which features fellow rappers Tech N9ne and Bun B. The remix to this working man's (or woman's) anthem sticks to the same production but includes added verse's from Tech N9ne and Bun B with Ortiz passing on a new verse. Listen and download...
First off how innocent of me to think that this song was about Tech N9ne, Lil Wayne, and T-Pain's disdain for french fries, Chipotle burritos, salads, and other delectable foods. Let me tell you, they're definitely not talking about that kind of food if you know what I mean (wink wink nudge nudge). Aside from the blush-worthy content of this song I actually kind of like it.

Every day that goes by I understand more and more why Tech N9ne has such an insanely loyal fanbase. Not only does the man make some legitimately thoughtful music (see his previous release "I Love Music") but he also knows how to simply have a good time. Case in point, "Worldwide Choppers", a track that's essentially a fast rap orgy. Pause. Or whatever. Listen and download...
As much as you can rightfully call Tech N9ne's music horrorcore, the man's really reached the heights he has is because he also knows how to have a good time. Case in point, new single "I Love Music", a straightforward anthem featuring Tech's peerless flow and an impressive verse from Kendrick Lamar. Listen and download...
No matter how much Tyler and company want to deny it on Twitter, in interviews, and in their music, the group is as Horrorcore as they come. They may not rely as heavily on horror film scores for backdrop, but Odd Future’s lyrics are deeply rooted in the subgenre. See more...
