Philly pic. We lost a Philadelphia and battle rap legend and pioneer," he told XXL after initially announcing the news on Facebook. We are praying that it was natural causes. He had no signs of harm done to his body. Both singles topped Billboard's hip-hop digital song sales charts. I was freaking out! Saw Tech 9 had passed away and thought it was you. Unfortunately I have never heard of the other T9.

Tech N9ne. He has shifted more than a million albums and co-owns a record label that may well be the most successful music business of its day. Yet you've almost certainly never heard of Tech N9ne — and that, you sense, is quite exciting to him. We performed like it was 7, people, so when we came back, word of mouth meant we played to people.
The next time, it was — now we sell out the [1,capacity] House of Blues there. It's wonderful to see it grow like that — and that's what we're gonna have to do in Europe. We haven't done a seven in a long time, but I could still do a seven. And I will do a seven. Even if it's two people in the audience when we go over there, fuck it. Downstairs, in the Kansas City offices of Tech's Strange Music label, there's a wipe-clean map of the United States tacked to the wall.
In chinagraph pencil markings, the rapper's last US tour is plotted in military detail, taking in remote cities in Montana, Idaho, Nebraska — the kinds of places most artists never visit.
Away from the tour itinerary, other cities are circled: places Tech has never been, but where the Strange Music mail-order team have noticed clusters of shirt-buying fans; or where he's already established, but hasn't played for a while.
The battle plan includes sorties to no fewer than three Alaskan cities, but Hawaii is a problem: the islands' main promoter is worried that rabid Tech N9ne fans will cause a riot should he ever play a show there. It's like a glimpse into a parallel universe, where hard work has trumped the hype machine. But it's all very real. Growing under the media radar, selling DVDs rather than having videos plastered all over MTV, playing gigs a year and taking his bizarre music and hyperactive stage show to parts of the country his contemporaries don't bother with, Tech and co have built a multi-million-dollar business that is geographically, financially and philosophically set apart from the rest of the music industry.
But that industry is finally starting to take notice.
