Tech n9ne where is he from

He began rapping at an early age and would rap the letters of his name in order to remember how to spell it. Tech's understanding of rhythm in music was taught by his uncle, while the religiousness came from his mother, grandmother and aunt. When Tech was 12, his Christian mother married a Muslim who would become Tech's stepfather and they moved to a new house. It was a strict religious household, so going to church several times a week and hearing church music and gospel songs within the house became natural for Tech.

Although rap music was banned from his house, his life changed dramatically when his uncle snuck him a record called "Rap Dirty" by Blowfly. The reason behind it was that Tech rapped with an incredible speed, very similar to the fire rate of the gun.

In , the streets of hometown became infected by the crack trade, as L. Bloods moved into his neighborhood and the 57th Street Rogue Dog Villains were born. While his homeboys were getting caught up, Tech was perfecting his rhyme skills, gaining a reputation as a dope rapper and dancer. At 17, he left home to move in with an aunt. He got his first taste of freedom but with it, came another view of the dark side.

But during this time, he never stopped dancing and rhyming and his skills attracted a round-the-way girl named Tanya, who invited him to join her at a rap convention in New Orleans. Through Tanya, who later would rise to fame as the rapper Sole, he got his first big break. The early break led to him hooking up with longtime collaborator Icy Rock , who turns out some of the dopest tracks on Anghellic. But it couldn't prepare him for the long hard road out of hell.

With every industry inroad--and there were plenty--came major setbacks. During this time, he hooked up with an old homeboy, a producer named Don Juan , Anghellic' s other wiz kid. She joined The Times in as a MetPro trainee and has reported from homicide scenes, flooded canyons, red carpet premieres and award shows. Tell us what that means to you. All Sections. About Us.

Hot Property. Sickology brims with stellar appearances from lyrical heavyweights. When you do a sequel, there has to be a bigger body count and more people have to die. It makes you want to speed. His success knows no limits. He did it all on his own. I give you music for my core. I raise my middle finger to everybody who judges me because my core audience is there for me. This album is the result; swallow it.
