His tenth studio album, K.O.D., was released October 27, 2009. He has spent his illustrious career making sure he’s been grinding harder than the average rapper, and is the best selling artist out of his hometown. With nine solo albums and two powerhouse collaboration projects under his belt, the Kansas City MC’s flow is sharper and slicker than it’s ever been.
“This is another roller coaster ride,” explains TECH N9NE about the release. “When it came time for Sickology 101, I knew I wanted to do a collabo album based on the study of being sick. It’s a beginner’s course for people who don’t know how to be sick lyrically or how to choose sick beats. It all starts with beats because they tell me exactly what to do.” Epic beats from YoungFyre, Wyshmaster, Seven and Matic Lee set the stage for TECH N9NE to weave his introspective and sometimes roguish lyrics around.
Sickology 101 brims with stellar appearances from lyrical heavyweights. On the opening title track, TECH N9NE slays alongside Chino XL and Crooked I, pulling listeners into the Hip-Hop classroom for a lesson in murdering a beat. It’s a twisted vision forged on undeniable grooves and quixotic wordplay.
The single, “Nothin,’” is an inspiring, honest anthem that features Messy Marv and Big Scoob. Meanwhile, on “Midwest Choppers 2,” TECH N9NE and Krayzie Bone cruise to the depths of darkness. “Krayzie Bone came through and murdered it,” says TECH N9NE. “I modeled the song after movies. When you do a sequel, there has to be a bigger body count and more people have to die. ‘Midwest Choppers 2’ is Autobahn-style. It makes you want to speed.”
TECH N9NE’s inimitable flow and rhyming take center stage on solo tracks, including the haunting, hypnotic “Red Nose.” He doesn’t pull any punches on the vitriolic, YoungFyre-produced “Blown Away,” either. It’s an open letter to several prominent urban artists who refused to play before him at radio festivals despite his massive concert draw.
With hits like “I’m A Playa,” “Caribou Lou” (which boasts 7.2 million MySpace plays), “Riotmaker,” “Like Yeah” and “Everybody Move,” it’s no wonder TECH N9NE counts a total of over 4.5 million YouTube video plays and an average of 40,000 MySpace visitors each day. His success knows no limits. The July 2008 release, Killer, debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart and Number 12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. He did it all on his own. There was no major label — just TECH N9NE’s own record company, Strange Music. TECH N9NE’s tracks have appeared in films like Gang Related and Alpha Dog as well as various TV shows, and he recently made his motion picture debut in The Life of Lucky Cucumber alongside members of MTV’s “Jackass” crew.
It hasn’t been an easy road, but TECH N9NE soldiers on and he’ll never stop. “They call me devil worshipper because I’m different. I give you music for my core. They’re the people that put me over the million mark. I raise my middle finger to everybody who judges me because my core audience is there for me. They will always love me, but I’m trying to reach others, too. It’s not over. My music is supposed to be for everybody, but some people just don’t get it. This album is the result; swallow it. It’s middle finger music, all-day and all-night.”
TECH N9NE never stops bringing that music directly to his fans, constantly reinforcing his status as one of the hardest-touring rap acts in the business. In 2008, TECH N9NE performed over 200 shows and he doesn’t show any signs of slowing down in 2009. In April, TECH will head out in support of Sickology 101 and spend two months on the road, performing live for his rabid fans.
Sickology 101 is prepping the world for TECH N9NE’s next masterpiece, K.O.D. “I want people to know that I’m getting better and better and I’m a machine. I do these collabo albums to give the fans more. This is a bridge record to K.O.D. It’s the farewell to the TECH N9NE you’ve known lately. It’s getting darker. A lot of people might not be able to go to the place I’m going, but this place is my specialty.”
“I don’t need people to kiss my hand,” assures TECH N9NE. “I’m not trippin’ on status, and I’m not a narcissist when it comes to rap. It’s my heart and soul pouring onto the paper. I write my life and I can’t hold back. This is what I know.”

Leave Me Alone
Tech N9ne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't got no tolerance for somethin' stupid, or hatred, or envy.
If you bringin' any one of those,
How bout, Leave me alone.
They pray I'll free fall any day, Well I don't need y'all anyway.
Negativity give me nay ya finna hear me say.
Just leave me right here with my henny, say my chicks an plenty pay.
But now I just wanna be left alone.
They wish death and my flesh and my chromosomes slept my songs,
They need a little bit less Patron.
And they holler the weirdo, when I walk in the spot,
The zeros pissed cause they ladies wanna swaller my hero.
They live in squaller and fear though they daughter come here though,
She know I keep plenty Robert De Niro.
You punks will never get to see me let a tear go.
Started hatin' the second I busted a mere flow.
I just want you to get some gones, not near no.
Negative energy that is a remedy, hey yo listen here bro
Stay away from me
Please stay far away from me
Leave me by my lonely
Just let me be
Stay away from me
Please stay far away from me
Leave me by my lonely
Just leave me alone
The hood don't play me huh, Treat my strange music like rabies huh
They be sayin' tech nina he crazy huh.
But you want me on your video
And CD.
You elementary rappers are straight remedial, A.D.D.
I'm in my own world partna, and you don't fit there.
All your tech hatred has got you soundin' like a bitch player.
And this is to multiple haters and I swear it,
Ain't about a pass but if the shoe fit wear it nigga.
Its a size nine, wanna step inside mine?
It'll feel like you died tryin',
And you will know that I can't buy time, for you to catch Casper its high time.
You tried crimes against me cause you couldn't follow the guidelines.
They say respect your elders,
You best go tell the lord forgive you cause whats next your failure.
Just leave me where its less your hell brah.
Invest your mail to somethin' that sell
Cause the Tech don't smell ya, Tech gon tell ya
Stay away from me
Please stay far away from me
Leave me by my lonely
Just let me be
Stay away from me
Please stay far away from me
Leave me by my lonely
Just leave me alone
We be singular, numero uno ichibon.
They want my doom and my funeral, psycho bitch be gone.
Losin' my lithium quickly this chick done hit me don,
And bit me on my finger, tell Trav to get me bond.
Cause if it happens again, if it happens again, I'm a pstst boy!
I wish I had no problem with smackin' a friend with a gat be snappin' a chin.
But I got chicks that wanna get it in, for sure.
I'm takin' all the crazy ho's outta my lady mode,
I'm done with the oldies, nothin' but new shit in my radio.
Leave me solitary cause the way she go is shady though.
It's later for there he go, no more Tech N9ne let the baby know.
All of ya need to try clit, and straight deny dick.
Leave us alone cause you mentally damaged, no try sick.
I wish I wasn't a star and the gentleman would die quick.
So next time you trippin',
I'll flip and hit you in your eye bitch.
Stay away from me
Please stay far away from me
Leave me by my lonely
Just let me be
Stay away from me
Please stay far away from me
Leave me by my lonely
Just leave me alone

My best friend used to come up to me and say "they pray I freefall any day" and I would respond "well I don't need yall anyway". He didnt listen to tech like I did back then but he would always start that part cause he liked this song... I never thought about it but he liked a lot of techs sad songs. He's not with us anymore and sometimes i come back to this song to hear that part and bring back some memories of us. Thanks Tech and Krizz for this masterpiece.
