Rap legend Tech N9ne is currently on an extensive headlining run in support of his 20th studio album, Planet. The Kansas City native's latest release dropped March 2, 2018 via indie label Strange Music. Tech N9ne's current tour - which spans over 60 dates and features support from feature Krizz Kaliko, Just Juice, Joey Cool and King Iso - kicked-off on April 17th in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and will conclude June 23rd in Denver, Colorado.
We had the pleasure of sitting down with the iconic songwriter, to talk about his live show.
Writing music fans relate to:
"I live life and I write it. I tap into emotion, that's what we all have in common."
Characters on stage:
"My cockamamie idea is that I am the king, the clown, and the G- all three in one setting. So each character has a setlist of like ten songs. You know what I'm saying? And then on top of that is the house of hits at the end of those characteristics, that's why there's like 50 selections."
