With such a successful formula, one wonders why Tech N9ne would choose to veer from it at this point. The result has been plenty of sales and success for the independent rapper. His albums are still injected with the same dark paranoia that made him famous, but it is layered with a smoother sound and party anthems galore. While some fans balked at the change in direction, it has worked wonders for Tech N9ne and his Strange Music label. He signed Kansas City street rappers to his label and shifted his focus to making music that was more commercial and universal. After receiving backlash from his hometown fans, Tech N9ne made it a point to show that he was not the devil worshipping horrorcore rapper they stereotyped him to be. If that were true, it would be a sharp departure from the image Tech N9ne has spent years building. It was rumored to be Tech N9ne’s return to the darker sound which made him popular. The title was first announced as “K.O.D.” with no information on what the letters stood for. Tech N9ne’s latest album was shrouded with controversy and hype from the minute it was announced.
