June 28, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) Kicking off what promises to be a prolific season, chart-topping multiplatinum hip-hop legend and the most successful independent rapper of all-time Tech N9ne serves up a powerful and personal new solo single entitled “The Birth” out today via Strange Music


Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE.


Getting introspective, Tech takes a trip down memory lane. An airy keyboard loop encircles the beat as he reflects on growing up and the power of music in his life. He speaks candidly on his mother’s health struggles and recognizes how records changed everything for him, “I escaped all the fear and anxiety when I listened to Roger Troutman, George Clinton, more attention on the rap.” On the hook, he promises, “I’m’a take you home for the B I R T H. In the accompanying visual, he spits these bars from the heart to the camera in front of his childhood home intercut with reenactments of formative events and totems of his upbringing, including a Michael Myers mask, clown mask, and red nose.


“The Birth” sets the stage for his next solo LP and 26th full-length coming later this year.


Like the multi-headed musical hydra he is, Tech continues to flex his elite lyricism in multiple lanes all at once. He’s in the middle of his latest “Tech N9ne Collabos” season, gearing up to drop the new Collabos full-length COSM (CLASS OF STRANGE MUSIC) on July 12. Pre-order HERE


Tech continues to break boundaries without compromise. Heavy-metal trailblazers Falling In Reverse tapped him and Alex Terrible of Slaughter To Prevail for the explosive “Ronald.” Beyond stacking up 12 million-plus Spotify streams, Tech turned up on stage during Falling In Reverse’s headlining set at Welcome To Rockville in Jacksonville, FL in front of over 55,000 fans for the single’s live debut. He left the stage in flames by delivering his standout verse with vicious vitality. Relive the moment HERE. The song also crashed the Top 10 of both the Billboard Top 10 Alternative Songs Chart and Top Hot Rock Songs Chart in addition to capturing #2 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs Chart. Not to mention, Revolver applauded “the diverse talent of rap rocker Tech N9ne, and New Noise Magazine spoke to him in-depth at Welcome To Rockville, going on to praise, “His legendary presence with his rap rock metal mix and multifaceted style captivates his fans and colleagues everywhere he goes.”
