Some artists get writers block, but for Tech N9ne, the ideas keep
flowing. That's why, more than a decade after he released his
first nationally-distributed album, the pioneering Kansas City
rapper decided to call his forthcoming studio album Something
Else. "After all this music, you have the nerve to say to the
world that you have something else other than what we've heard
already, that's cocky," Tech N9ne says. "I knew going into this
album that it was going to have to be totally something else
beatwise, contentwise and featurewise. I went in on a lot of
stuff."Tech N9ne delivers on his goals throughout Something Else,
a rousing collection that takes listeners on an epic journey
through Fire, Water and Earth sections of the album, a formatting
tactic Tech N9ne also employed on his landmark Anghellic album in
2001 and his Everready [The Religion] album in 2006. "Straight
Out The Gate" kicks off the intense Fire section of the album.
Featuring System Of A Down's Serj Tankian, the song has political
and religious overtones while highlighting both Tankian and Tech
N9ne's talents. "Serj, he's a guy that takes chances with music
and sounds and fuses them together and that's how I feel about my
hip-hop music," Tech N9ne says. "Our being on a song together,
that's one of the biggest things that could happen. That's why I
put it first on the album."From there, Tech keeps the intensity
level sky-high with "B.I.T.C.H.," an acronym for "Breaking Into
Colored Houses," a cut about his interaction with his black fans.
"Love 2 Dislike Me" discusses the aftermath of a relationship
gone sour, while "Fortune Force Field" explains how certain
people are trying to keep Tech N9ne from enjoying all the fruits
of his musical labor. Then there's "I'm Not A Saint," Tech N9ne's
latest look at his Evil Brain Angel Heart persona. Tech N9ne
embraces such personal, evocative subject matter because it is an
innate part of his artistry. "The reason I opened up on this
album is because throughout my career, all I've been doing is
being inside out, being an open book," he says. "Since the album
is called Something Else, I have to let certain things loose that
I otherwise wouldn't let loose."The same logic applies to
"Fragile," a fierce collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, !Mayday!
and Kendall Morgan. Here, the artists blast uninformed critics
who lack the perspective and qualifications to fully and
accurately evaluate their craft. Tech N9ne also introduces
spirited newcomer Angel Davanport on "Priorities," which also
features Game. As the Water section of the album arrives, the
selections become calmer, if only thematically. "Dwamn"
introduces the album's first party vibe, while "So Dope (They
Wanna)" with Wrekonize, Snow Tha Product and Twisted Insane, is
the latest of Tech N9ne's posse cuts highlighting rappers who
excel at rapid-fire rapping, or chopping. "See Me," with Wiz
Khalifa and B.o.B., showcases Tech N9ne's ability as an
independent artist to conceive and execute independent albums
with major label artists and with a major label feel. That's also
why this song's lyrics focus on people overlooking Tech N9ne's
remarkable achievements - that he's sold more than 2 million
units independently, developed into to one of music's most
dependable touring artists and that he's built Strange Music into
one of rap's most successful imprints from his hometown of Kansas
City. As Something Else advances to the Earth section, Tech N9ne
focuses on topics he hopes will make the world better. "That's My
Kid," with CeeLo Green, Big K.R.I.T. and Kutt Calhoun, for
instance, finds Tech N9ne contemplating the recent rash of school
shootings and realizing how fortunate he is that his children did
not make some of the mistakes that he did as a child. "I was just
sitting up one day looking at all these kids that do these
heinous things, these horrible things," Tech N9ne says. "I'm
lucky that my son didn't latch on to the Blood gang nonsense that
I grew up doing. He latched on to music and now he wants to rap.
I'm blessed. I have to rejoice." Tech N9ne also rejoiced on the
career-defining song "Strange 2013," his collaboration with The
Doors. Tech N9ne named his Strange Music label with partner
Travis O'Guin after the icon rock group's songs "Strange Days"
and "People Are Strange." As a black fan of rock and rap growing
up in Missouri, Tech N9ne grew up thinking he was "strange".
Getting to work with the surviving members of The Doors on
"Strange 2013," a reworking of "Strange Days," is one of the
proudest moments of his groundbreaking career. "If it wasn't for
their fusion of music, I would have never told Travis I wanted to
call the joint venture that we have Strange Music," Tech N9ne
explains. "That's why 'Strange 2013' meant so much to me. Now,
when I listen to it, I smile, like, 'I did that.' They're the
ones that inspired me. It's the thing keeping me alive and
putting my kids through college, because I was a Doors fan."
Today, millions of people are Tech N9ne fans. He became known as
an innovative rapper in the 1990s because of his trendsetting
ability to rap at breakneck speed, to rap backwards and, soon
thereafter, to also deliver riveting personal songs that examined
his own inner demons, as evidenced throughout such memorable cuts
as "Tormented" and "Real Killer." In the 2000s, Tech N9ne hit the
road relentlessly, becoming one of rap's premier touring acts.
With 2012's "Hostile Takeover 2012 Tour," Tech N9ne holds the
title of headlining the longest continuous tour in rap history.
Even with all these accolades and the impressive list of artists
Tech N9ne features on Something Else, he sounds as fresh and
hungry as he did when he first started releasing music
commercially more than a decade ago. "I've got a chip on my
shoulder," Tech N9ne says. "I've still got a lot to prove. That's
why I still rap so hard. I'm always trying to get better and
better. I'm not softening it."That, in and of itself, is
Something Else indeed.
