TECH N9NE RELEASES NEW COLLABOS SINGLE “P.O.W.” FEATURING MARLEY YOUNG OUT NOW



READY FOR WEST COAST DATES & NOW SOLD OUT SPECIAL HOMETOWN CONCERT AT THE MIDLAND THEATRE WITH KANSAS CITY SYMPHONY ON MAY 4


 


April 5, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) Today, chart-topping multiplatinum hip-hop legend and the most successful independent rapper of all-time, Tech N9ne uncorks a hard-hitting new collabos single entitled “P.O.W.” featuring Marley Young out now via Strange Music.





The production threads together neon keys with hypnotic beat-craft. An immediately irresistible refrain captures the message as Marley Young reminds, “Got plaques on the wall just to show you where I been, and I’m still independent.” Tech replies with a lyrical warning, “In-de-pendent…I’m the landlord you the tenant.” Asserting his dominance and holding nothing back, he proceeds to breathlessly rap with one quotable bar after another.


The track continues yet another prolific season for Tech. Last month, he delivered the collabos anthem “You Know Where You Can Go.” It has already piled up nearly 319K Spotify streams as well as 113K YouTube views on the music video. Meanwhile, Sway’s Universe raved, “In the world of hip-hop, few names resonate as powerfully as Tech N9ne. The icon has once again set the bar high with his latest collaboration single, ‘You Know Where You Can Go’.” It also notched plugs from The Hype Magazine, V13, and more. 


It landed in the wake of the collabos track “Roll Call” with Rittz and featuring King Iso, Joey Cool, JL, Lex Bratcher, and X-Raided. The latter has already stacked up over 1.4MM YouTube views on the music video. In addition to plugs from Rock The Bells, Ghost Cult Magazine, The Hype Magazine, and more, his hometown television station KCTV5 hailed it as “explosive.”  


Watch the “Roll Call” music video HERE.


“Roll Call” notably stood out as the first collabos release in seven years since the eighth album in the series, Strange Reign, dropped in 2017. It remains a Strange Music institution with Tech uniting the finest MCs in his ecosystem to do what they do best. Most importantly, it hints at a whole lot more to come soon. 


“P.O.W.” only accelerates his momentum in 2024…


Canvasing the country this Spring, he hits the road for a series of live shows, kicking off on April 17 at the Arcata Theatre Lounge in Arcata, California.

MORE ABOUT TECH N9NE:

One of the most insane, influential, and impactful legacies in hip-hop belongs to Tech N9ne.


He has consistently accomplished the impossible from outside of the system. He’s bucked every trend, overturned all expectations, and not only built a culture, but a whole damn world with Strange Music.


The craziest thing is how far he’s come since co-founding Strange Music back in 2000. The Kansas City, MO rapper has gone from packed Midwest underground shows to the annual Forbes “Cash Kings” list multiple times, the cover of XXL, the playlists of Sir Elton John and Dwayne Johnson, and national commercials for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.


Beyond tallying billions of streams and views, he has scored four platinum singles, three gold singles, and a gold album. He has notched 23 entries on the Billboard Top albums Chart and remains the record holder for “most Top 10 albums on the rap chart.” Not to mention, he cracked the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200 four times.

His collaborators have ranged from Eminem, The Doors, Lil Wayne, Tupac, Boyz II Men, T.I., MGK, Flatbush Zombies, and Gary Clark, Jr. to Slipknot, System of a Down, Deftones, and Logic. Mainstream went Tech when he ignited ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel


LIVE! Meanwhile, Complex mused upon “How Kendrick Lamar Became a Star With Help From Tech N9ne.” He has sold out hundreds of shows as part of a relentless schedule. Not to mention, he introduced his own craft beer Bou Lou—in partnership with Kansas City’s own Boulevard Brewery.

SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR “KINGDOM” FEATURING TECH N9NE


WATCH




September 22, 2023 (Los Angeles, CA) -- Delivering a bold body of work, rising rap phenom Joey Cool presents his much-anticipated new album, Enjoy The View, out now via Strange Music.


Listen to Enjoy The View HERE.


To celebrate the arrival of the record, he just uncovered the music video for the single “Kingdom” [feat. Tech N9ne]. Watch the music video for “Kingdom” HERE. A distorted guitar crunch sets the tone for the track as Joey’s unpredictable cadence cuts right through the beat. Meanwhile, Tech pulls up with a focused and fiery verse of his own. Uplifted by a bluesy guitar solo, the hook hits hard, “When the kingdom comes, you’d better fall in line and pray to God that he’s been listening. Trying to bring my kingdom down.”


In the accompanying visual, Joey and Tech take over a football field. They rap to the camera in between footage of drills and intense game action.


At its heart, the album transmits an important message for Joey. He states, “We get so caught up in this whole music thing, and it’s hard to see where you’re actually at. For me, Enjoy The View literally means stepping back, chilling, having a good time, and enjoying the view. Three years removed from the Pandemic, we’re getting back to it for real. We’re touring. We’re making music. We’re not taking it for granted. I’m reminding myself I’ve come a long way, and I’m going to stop and smell the roses.”


He paved the way for Enjoy The View with the likes of “Closer Now” [feat. King Iso & K.A.A.N.], “Peanut Butter Jealous" [feat. X-Raided], “Sweet” [feat. Lex Bratcher], and “Buckets.” Beyond piling up hundreds of thousands of streams and views, he also notched plugs from Underground Hip-Hop Blog and more.


Check out the full tracklisting below.


Enjoy The View with Joey Cool now!


In 2021, Joey Cool joined forces with Tech N9ne, King Iso, and the legendary Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for the biggest independent rap song of that year, "Face Off." Its success would be downright unprecedented, birthing a TikTok challenge and amassing over 13 billion views! The track has crushed nearly 160 million Spotify streams so far with 71 million views on the blockbuster music video. The track saw him mentioned by everyone from Variety to Entertainment Weekly.





With impenetrable flows, hypnotic hooks, and debonair flair, Joey Cool persists an outlier through and through. From the jump, the Kansas City phenomenon has mined influences as diverse as R&B, big band, rock ‘n’ roll, alternative, and rap. “I’ve got a Frank Sinatra tattoo on my arm, and I’m from the Midwest,” he grins. “I’m a little different.” Thus far, he has ignited a string of fan favorite projects. Hailed as “a hidden gem,” HipHopDX rated his 2018 self-titled solo debut “4.0-out-of-5.0.” Following Coolie High [2020] and I tried to be normal once[2021], he reached another stratosphere on The Chairman of the Board [2022]. Of the latter, Legends Will Never Die raved, “he sounds a lot more confident on here as he leaves no room for questions regarding his current status,” and Hip Hop Golden Age applauded it as “some of his most confident writing and performances to date.” Underground Hip Hop Blog summed it up best as “Joey Cool’s most confident effort yet.” In between, he shined on Tech N9ne’s “Face Off” alongside King Iso and the legendary Dwayne Johnson. The song has amassed hundreds of millions of streams, 14.6 billion TikTok views, and received plugs from Variety, USA Today, People, HYPEBEAST, and many more. In its wake, Joey hit the road with Tech, ¡MAYDAY!, and Iso. Now, he goes even harder with a dynamic, diverse, and definitive opus in the form of his sixth full-length album, the aptly titled Enjoy The View [Strange Music].
