Get ready for the most anticipated release of the year! Tech N9ne is taking it all the way in the year of the N9ne with the release of K.O.D., his 5th studio album, Oct 27th, 2009! It's been more than a year since Tech's last studio release, Killer, and this album is decidedly darker and coming from a deeply personal artistic place - with songs such as "Like I Died","In The Trunk" and "Blackened The Sun".

"I thought I could do this dark album and not let it swallow my euphoria...", says Tech about finishing the recording process.

Over his career, Tech has released four albums with four distinct sounds. This album comes straight from the core of Tech N9ne. All the masks are off and we're all ready to see what the Kansas City King has in store for us on this one!

STRANGE MUSIC once again brings you one of the most anticipated tours of the year. Beginning October 2009, we proudly present the “K.O.D. TOUR 2009”! The “K.O.D. TOUR 2009” will bring together some of the most unique forces in independent Hip Hop. TECH N9NE pairs up for this outing with his Strange Music cohorts, Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun and Big Scoob. Joining this unique tour will be the collective known as Slaughterhouse along with Stevie Stone and Glasses Malone. The “K.O.D. TOUR 2009” will present fans of Hip Hop a great opportunity to see a diverse range of styles in a format like no other.

TECH N9NE’s presence in the industry refuses to cease its expansion. Known for his hardcore touring ethic and bar-setting stage performances, TECH N9NE continues to up the ante for other touring rap artists. Bringing his memorable hits to the masses, songs like “I’m A Playa”, “Caribou Lou”, “Riotmaker”, “Like Yeah” and “Everybody Move”, TECH N9NE proves he can deliver live as well as on CD. Having released the epic “Killer” in July of 2008, which debuted at Number One on the Billboard Top Independent Album charts and Number Twelve on the Billboard Top 200 Albums, TECH N9NE followed up the groundbreaking, genre-crossing double-album with two headlining nationwide tours, providing further evidence that he is the hardest touring artist in Hip Hop. His latest collaborations album, “Sickology 101”, which debuted at Number Two on the Billboard Top Independent Album charts, provided the basis for the 50+ city Sickology 101 Tour. Proving that his touring ethic is nothing short of serious, after completing the Sickology 101 Tour, Tech immediately hit the road to take part in the 2009 Rock The Bells Tour, which saw Tech perform alongside such luminaries as Nas, Damien Marley, House of Pain/La Coka Nostra and The Wu Tang Clan. TECH N9NE’s most recent solo album, “K.O.D.”, is scheduled to hit stores just a few weeks after this tour kicks off - on October 27th – adding fuel to an already fervent fire.

Check out the In-Depth Article on Krizz Kaliko Featured in INK Magazine!

Krizz Kaliko planned to kill his future wife and himself. His tortured life had unmercifully reached a breaking point when Crystal Matthews, then 19, walked away from their three-year relationship. The skin disease vitiligo had scarred his face, hands and upper body with blotches of pink skin since he was 2 years old and did even worse damage to his self-esteem. A criminal stepfather, neighborhood bullies and look-at-the-monster stares from confused adults and children inflicted physical and mental pain. Cancer took his father when Krizz was 15. In the same year, his sister lay in a coma following a car accident.
