“Because the album is called Something Else, I knew I had to take something out of that vault that might spark the wires…might spark some people in my past,” Tech N9ne explained during a lengthy phone conversation days before the release of his latest album. Tech has sold over one million albums independently and gained some of the mainstream recognition he once rapped about on songs like “Why You Ain’t Call Me?” As he catches what appears to be his commercial and critical second wind, what else is there for Tech N9ne? And-in more recent times-he’s bounced back as the record industry’s business model has evolved. He’s watched his health and familial relationships deteriorate while temporarily immersed in the stereotypical Rap life of drugs, women and all the associated trappings. He’s been the wide-eyed new artist, soaking up sage advice from the likes of Quincy Jones. Over the course of 13 albums, Tech N9ne has pretty much experienced every high and low a rapper can encounter.
