His tenth studio album, K.O.D., was released October 27, 2009. He has spent his illustrious career making sure heβs 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 MCβs flow is sharper and slicker than itβs ever been.
βThis is another roller coaster ride,β explains TECH N9NE about the release. βWhen it came time for Sickology 101, I knew I wanted to do a collabo album based on the study of being sick. Itβs a beginnerβs course for people who donβt 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.β 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. Itβs a twisted vision forged on undeniable grooves and quixotic wordplay.
The single, βNothin,ββ is an inspiring, honest anthem that features Messy Marv and Big Scoob. Meanwhile, on βMidwest Choppers 2,β TECH N9NE and Krayzie Bone cruise to the depths of darkness. βKrayzie Bone came through and murdered it,β says TECH N9NE. βI modeled the song after movies. When you do a sequel, there has to be a bigger body count and more people have to die. βMidwest Choppers 2β is Autobahn-style. It makes you want to speed.β
TECH N9NEβs inimitable flow and rhyming take center stage on solo tracks, including the haunting, hypnotic βRed Nose.β He doesnβt pull any punches on the vitriolic, YoungFyre-produced βBlown Away,β either. Itβs 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 βIβm A Playa,β βCaribou Louβ (which boasts 7.2 million MySpace plays), βRiotmaker,β βLike Yeahβ and βEverybody Move,β itβs 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 β just TECH N9NEβs own record company, Strange Music. TECH N9NEβs 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 MTVβs βJackassβ crew.
It hasnβt been an easy road, but TECH N9NE soldiers on and heβll never stop. βThey call me devil worshipper because Iβm different. I give you music for my core. Theyβre 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 Iβm trying to reach others, too. Itβs not over. My music is supposed to be for everybody, but some people just donβt get it. This album is the result; swallow it. Itβs middle finger music, all-day and all-night.β
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 doesnβt 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 N9NEβs next masterpiece, K.O.D. βI want people to know that Iβm getting better and better and Iβm a machine. I do these collabo albums to give the fans more. This is a bridge record to K.O.D. Itβs the farewell to the TECH N9NE youβve known lately. Itβs getting darker. A lot of people might not be able to go to the place Iβm going, but this place is my specialty.β
βI donβt need people to kiss my hand,β assures TECH N9NE. βIβm not trippinβ on status, and Iβm not a narcissist when it comes to rap. Itβs my heart and soul pouring onto the paper. I write my life and I canβt hold back. This is what I know.β

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
Welcome to Missouri where the killers pop it off
And when I say pop it off I mean
Deadly with the tongue or the gun
We can do it if anybody want it, whether rapping
Or get to clapping up another, tell everyone
Misery Loves Kompany so we dump at the
Enemy when it be energy sendinβ me the route
Of negativity, trippin' with me, you runnin' for your life
'Cause you ran your mouth (Mouth)
[Hook: Tech N9ne]
We can sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed
Whether itβs fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ainβt no thang
(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
Sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed
Whether itβs fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ainβt no thang
(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
Finna witness the murderous monologue of a menace
Comin' from out of a sinister formidable place
I can let you know the ins and the outs
And I can spit it wicked twisted
And you can see by the look of my face
Gimme the mic and Iβma mangle it tangle it
Definitely the people see that I got the hang of it
Pity you gotta try to make a mockery of a city who
Block 'em and block 'em, buck at you baby we dangerous
Came to get strange with it, bang with it
Stop and get a little untame with it
Get this chopper like I'm fully a bully with a hoodie
Should he get up and take 'em out or spit 'caine with it?
Well the answer is right before your eyes - who do you despise?
Killers who chop you we got to stop you
Pop you partner, you gushin'
Get up outta the way when Tecca Nina be bustin'
Gotta give it up, Iβm a veteran like Edison
Iβma light 'em up and get in your head again
Iβm better than ever, never let up feather in, death he be fetishin'
Sever it, hit the mic and then we pedalin' medicine
Iβm a chopper, chopper, chopper!
Automatic kickin' the ammunition
Killin' the competition, no it ainβt nobody
Hotter, hotter, hotter!
Damagin' everything and everybody
You know we on a mission, listen to me
How can I make you understand I'm a general
Even if you poppin' the competition is minimal
Kan-city killers and you can bet that we criminal
The demon inside of me keep on tellin' me when to go
So Iβma keep reppin' the midwest choppers freakin' flows
And Iβm 'bout to be up on top of this and truly be bustin'
Beggin' for mercy, you punk I ainβt givin' you nothing (nothing)
[Hook: Tech N9ne]
We can sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed
Whether itβs fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ainβt no thang
(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
Sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed

(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
[Verse 3: D-Loc]
Lyrically we be the best in the Midwest and we caked up
I ainβt talkin' about women, Iβm talkin' about paper
D-Loc and Dalima enter the center
And get coded and when in the competition we for sure to kill em
I spit like a fully and ready made, through any type of weather
With the Beretta tucked right, under my sweater
And we hotter than lava
The way that my gillas be keepin' it poppin'
Partner you tight, but my gillas are better
We keep it choppin' like a blender, eatin' boys up for dinner
Guillotines we chop your heads off, and throw 'em out the window
We too critical we ill and you walking away looking so pitiful
The AGT we be the number one contenders
(When it come to the street we still post on the block)
40 Cal. on my lap and my middle finger up to the cops
On the way to the studio to go and make another hot track
They be lovin' the way that we spit it when we drop
They call me D-Loc, so the functioning definition of a soldier
My opposition is more culture than Rocha
I spit like a Tommy and anybody in my way Iβma fold em
And me and my gilla gorillas want it 'cause we the coldest boys
Be tryin' to battle 'cause they want our position
But they can never get in it because we better and bigger
And like I told you we the number one competitors dealin'
Workin' their way up to the top and they won't stop til they get the millions
In the hone of the century D-Loc and Dalima
Chemistry, you can never cross with them
Igganas idah the ebe ossinbay the yricala
Iggertra eavela otherma uckerfayβs lost
You can try to read us, you can try to beat us
Try to get your speed up, but it ainβt gon' matter
'Cause after we get finished bustin' there ainβt gon' be no laughter
We takin' over the map with Tecca Nina the master (master)
[Hook: Tech N9ne]
We can sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed
Whether itβs fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ainβt no thang
(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
Sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed
Whether itβs fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ainβt no thang
(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
[Verse 4: Dalima]
When Iβm off in a zone, I get to representing the city of the K
Hollow your brain βcause Iβm a disaster
Dalima get ridiculous if Iβm cominβ at you
Leave βem in a predicament 'cause Iβm a style master
And Iβm not impressionable, now just so you know
I make 'em sweat, cause Iβm the best with the flow
Whenever you wanna flex we can go, keep stressinβ your cold
And I bet I leave your neck on the floor
Midwest finna blow like (C4 with a low strike)
βCause the energy is the bomb
I can tell that youβre fascinated by the way that we rhyme
And we glow like when the four strike with the fire
(It ainβt nothinβ you can say though)
βCause Iβm sipinβ on Henny and bustin' like a semi on enemies now
Irritated with the haters that be coming around
So Iβm kickin' like a relevant but an arrogant style
Meaning that Iβm really sure so
Iβm too sick for a cure, so
Ainβt a need for a doctor
My verbal word play, be making your nerves shake cause I caught you
Pants down when I popped you
Now letβs take a trip through the valley of real gill
Strange individuals with a militant ill skill
Pop a collar and holler at the broads with real skrill
Get down for the cause, cause we flossin' big wheels, (what up with it?)
Donβt be acting like you get tough with it
When the choppers come out the truck spitting
All of the Strange gill killas gon' be devoted to leavin' your body smokin' when really you canβt get up with us
(And thatβs game thatβs proper)
βCause whenever Iβm bustinβ itβs like a full heart stopper
Dalima, Tecca Nina, Kaliko, and D-Loc
Rippin' βem up with the flow 'cause weβre Midwest Choppers! (choppers!)
[Hook: Tech N9ne]
We can sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed
Whether itβs fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ainβt no thang
(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
Sang or we can bang
It ainβt no game we untamed
Whether itβs fame or we can aim
Release your brains it ainβt no thang
(Midwest Choppers)
Yer'm sayin', we livin' in pain
And itβs a shame that you
Came and got drained and listen
Man, stay in your lane
(Midwest Choppers)
[Verse 5: Krizz Kaliko]
Hey Tech, watch this!
Kali Baby, you better act right get right
'Cause Iβm the baddest nigga hookin' up with the fastest badass
That'll hit you with the lyrical lyrical miracle whip, incredible
Bitin' like the head off a cerebral
Diggy-diggy down, once your figgy frown at the c-c-clown them
Hounds is bound for your town, diggy-diggy-diggy
And if you lookin' for the sound
You can be found by the nigga wearin' the crown
Are you really with me?
And when you hear it nigga then zip it
The exhibit make you wanna reposition your pivot
When we write it and spit it, we makin' somebody get it
And if they wonβt hear it and deal it, but forget it to get it (Stop!)
Or I can keep babblin' on
Or rattelin' off at the mouth while we travelin'
And Iβll be thinkin' it all be speakin' about the things that I be doin'
A couple scooping up out my mouth this album βbout to ruin
You and you and you
And I can stop with the drop of the Caribou
And if itβs on and poppin' itβs due with you and you
And I wonβt hesitate to chop you when chewin' you
Uh huh, while they doin' you
And if you lookin' for the better in the veterans who can bust
You got the Kali gun for fun
And if you throw, we bustin' back at you when you attack
Iβm on the track I hope they puttin' down the gun
(Dalimaβs a chopper) Chopper!
(D-Loc a chopper, that Tecca Ninaβs a chopper)
The Kaliko will knock your block off
You never see it coming, hit you when we were gunning
You running we walk off (We walk off)
'Cause it's more than bread that we're wanting (We flaunting)
And we comin' headhunting
No we wonβt stop βtil we get to the top
You in the way, then we midwest chop ya (Chop ya)
