Tech N9ne has managed to shun the mainstream scene for most of his career, but his 2015 record, Special Effects, had other plans. The album entered the Billboard 200 chart debuting at number four upon its release. During an interview with Rolling Stone, Tech N9ne shared his thoughts about breaking through the mainstream. “So weird to me, so weird. The first little whiff of it was last year with ‘Fragile’ with me and Kendrick Lamar and ¡Mayday! and Kendall Morgan. That was surprising because I did not write that for the radio. I was mad at a journalist that said something sideways about me that was not true — LA Weekly or whatever — and the next thing you know, it’s on the radio.” “Fragile” is a single from his 2013 release, Something Else, which peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 chart.

Although he’s an independent artist, Tech N9ne’s music has always found its way into the charts. With numerous collaborations with top rappers and producers, it’s only a matter of time before the masses discover this rap holy grail. Tickets to his show are now available.
