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.”

Tech N9ne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now the lord of phallus
Have now recorded
Fallen angel warrior at the bottom drained a boiler
All remains a horror destroyer
In the middle of sodom and Gomorrah
Punk shit all around
Everybody been calling clown
Get wicked this sickness is falling down
Over this basic gay shit erase it
Face it make this hatred and make this place get apeshit
No kind of way you stopping this
Flow gonna make apocalypse
Power's stop lots of mocking shit
Lots of us often is blocking this
Optimist, positive hope for the future lost of awesomeness
I can get boss and alotta us will rot and pop like hot sausages
I am not the light I'm the opposite
For the narcissistic awfulness
I'm keepin tech off of his rocker
Black heart and darker
Peep it this is the thesis wrote in feces
I'm as beast as broken leashes
Little secret, I am his seepage
[Chorus]
Heartless darkness
I feel it seeping outta me
Watch this raw shit
Seeping out the anatomy
Heartless darkness
I feel it seeping outta me
It's gotta me nauseous the seepage deep inside of me
Touch it(touch it)
Feel it(feel it)
Love it(love it)
Seepage(seepage)
Touch it(touch it)
Feel it(feel it)
Love it(love it)
Seepage(seepage)
Do you believe in K.O.D?
Yes when you see him nod
He's in season the reason
Light is leaving he's even odd
All 6s and 7s
Mauled bitches and reverends
Frauds get and I get stepping
When the hog pit is in heaven
Dog shit if he's the messenger
When he take a threat then bless a wet nigga
Instead of getting a stretch and put death on the replica
That is the, weakest piece of release
But seepage has no discretion for checking a bra with a plethora is to lessen ya
Big Yates, he's stuck in the sick state
Some speaking at his fate
To be wack when he gets cake
Well, he's gets cake and the critics, they spit hate
But the sinister shit shakes so long to the Mixed Plate, I just ate
Punani and must-ard
Psychos in lust are
Skeeting seepage these nuts charred
What I got to say to people who pick at and gut stars
Say Imma lose the ability to bust hard, you fucktards
[Chorus]
The KODs a hothead
The shocks and the socks red
And the darkness is not dead
We can lock up like mop heads
Chop heads off suckas like my name was Achmed
Allah Akbar rugged Aaron Dantez Yatez
Oh muthafuckas I'm coming out of nose
I'm running out of his toes
His throat and clouded his soul
Peep his crowd at it grows
No matter which route is choose
He's climbing out of his globe
Don't doubt it how loud it blows
In the song "Seepage" by Tech N9ne, the lyrics are full of dark, ominous themes that speak to the rapper's inner turmoil and struggle with morality. The opening lyrics describe the singer's internal battle between good and evil, with his morals feeling short in his heart and brain, and his spirits out of order. The singer then goes on to describe his own role in evil, as he refers to himself as the "lord of phallus" and a "fallen angel warrior." The song's title, "Seepage," refers to the darkness that the rapper feels is seeping out of every part of him, infecting everything he touches and everyone around him.
Throughout the song, Tech N9ne paints a picture of a dystopian world full of wickedness, with "punk shit all around" and "sickness falling down." He describes himself as the opposite of light, with a black heart and a darker soul, and speaks to the importance of keeping his own ego in check in order to maintain his sanity. The chorus repeats the titular phrase "heartless darkness," emphasizing the emotional numbness that the singer feels as he confronts his own evil.
Overall, "Seepage" is a powerful and dark song that speaks to the darker aspects of the human psyche. The lyrics paint a picture of a dystopian world full of wickedness and depravity, but also highlight the importance of keeping one's own inner demons in check in order to maintain some semblance of goodness and light.
