“The beats sound nothing like anything you’ve ever heard me on. The features that I’m going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it’s a very human album. What I mean by that is that it’s contradictory. On one song I say, ‘The saint is ours’, like we’re in the saint’s corner and then I have another song called ‘I’m Not A Saint’. It’s so beautiful because the King, the Clown, and the G are still present on this album.
There’s no apologies in what I’m saying. I don’t mind that it contradicts itself because that’s what people do. The album is everywhere. It feels like it’s Hell, Purgatory and Heaven all over again. I’m telling stories that I’ve never told – that I was afraid to tell on some songs. It’s super personal and I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder again. It’s always been there, but it’s getting bigger having to prove to fans and critics that we ain’t goin’ nowhere.” -Tech N9ne from SM blog 2/8/13
"Tech was literally dancing in his seat with excitement about the new album and some of the featured artists on it. He couldn’t say who they were, but he did explain that the album will be broken up into three distinct sections — Fire, Water and Earth.
Fire, Tech said, will have darker tracks, but the CD will finish with a heavenly theme in the Earth portion.
“I’ve got some heavenly ‘We Are The World’ shit on this album, swear to God,” Tech said.
As for Water, Tech said he hasn’t quite decided, but possible themes might be partying or confusion." -DailyWIldCat.com 3/29/13

Permalink Reply by matt meyer on February 10, 2013 at 9:44pm Not necessarily true. Tech has said before that he has had acts signed to strange music that he does not care for.
EDIT: tech obviously does like lynch's style, he's said so a bunch of times, but saying that tech only signs artists that he likes is wrong.
Chris Mathews said:
If tech didn't like lynchs style he wouldnt have signed him. If he's not on the album its not because of his ripgut style.
Permalink Reply by Jerm on February 10, 2013 at 10:10pm He likes Lynch but his style really doesn't fit on an album like 6's and 7's. I'm guessing this upcoming album will be in a similar vein. Not a huge fan of having so many colabos on the album but I could see why it's being done. That's how Tech is able to get so much material out. For some perspective, Mannibalector was worked on for a year. Lynch took his time with it and barely has colabos. Considering Tech easily makes the most bank for the label, I'm sure there's pressure for him not to take as long.

Permalink Reply by JetblacK on February 11, 2013 at 1:09am For everyone complaining about all the collabs, how do you think he's getting the mainstream to go Tech? This is how, star studded features. I love solo Tech songs as much as the next Tech fan and wish we could get a true solo album but it will never happen.

Permalink Reply by JetblacK on February 11, 2013 at 1:23am I was mainly talking about the mainstream features obviously lol but I think he puts those people you mentioned on tracks with big names so they get the spotlight, clearly he's trying to put people on. For example, Hopsin was already on his way up in the game but when Tech put him on with B.O.B., that's when he really started to get noticed.

Permalink Reply by JetblacK on February 11, 2013 at 1:34am You right, that's kinda what I meant by he was already on his way up in the game, being featured with Tech and B.O.B. put his name everywhere though and really made the industry take him seriously.

Permalink Reply by ЖĭϞϬ ƦΔϟŦԃ on February 11, 2013 at 2:01am To be fair, I personally think he was hinting at Skatterman and Snug Brim. Specifically Skatterman because at around the same time as that interview (if it's the same one), Skatterman had been saying some foul shit in interviews. Tech said something along the lines of "I use to do favors for people" in terms of putting out their music, but then concluded with something like "I don't favors anymore". If you look at some of his recent signings (Ces, Mayday, Rittz, Stevie Stone) it looks like he's signing people he truly stands behind. He went after Hopsin, he went after Snow. He's supposedly trying to get JL. I don't know, he also signed lolprozak.
