Interview with Tech N9ne
Tech N9ne is the first Kansas City rapper to really blow up. His rapid fire “flow” is a mix of social and religious commentary, humor and hard-party beats – and his new album Killer is at the top of the charts right now.
by Susan B. Wilson
But success has not come easy for Tech N9ne aka Aaron Yates. His early flashes of success were followed by profound disappointments. Hard-core rap fans thought he was a little too different. And his face paint and dyed hair got him labeled a "devil worshipper," a tag that still bothers him to this day.
But now he's on an independent music label, and Tech's career is on the upswing. Killer appears to have wooed back old fans and won new ones. Speaking of which—we tried to "woo" Tech N9ne to interview with us in person – since he lives and works in the area. But he says with getting ready for a tour his life and schedule are hectic. So KC Currents' Susan Wilson caught up with Tech over the phone..

You can tell by the interviews, Tech N9ne isn't all about getting rich, he only wants to make enough money to live, and lead a happy life for his family, he's a lot about his music (unlike many many other artist). He makes music from his heart, and all of this talk about mainstream! All Tech wants to do is get people hearing his music. If you compare his music to many other artist (like lil wayne). His deserves to be heard more and sold more. Yet Tech appreciates what he has, and doesn't hate on other rappers. Tech is one of the truest rappers ever and makes such beautiful music. Tech wants what he deserves, and he deserves everyone to have a chance to listen to his music. Tech is so good, he can't be compared to other rappers, just him-self. I just can't how people can sleep on tech. Tech makes the most beautifully creative rap ever. Strange Music & Tech N9ne <3.
