Tech N9ne in Africa...
Greetings,
I work for a local hip hop magazine called HUB here in Gaborone, Botswana (Africa)... We're trying to expand, and with that get a few interviews from across the water. I recently started listening to Tech N9ne, and proceeded in acquiring 80% of your work. I will not lie to you, it is virtually impossible to find a Tech N9ne CD here, and I know why. However, thanks to this site, I am able to order some of your stuff online, have them sent to a friend on New York, then she mails them all the way here...lol.
I would, however like to say that your music is one that should be shared, because there are a lot of young people here that would relate to your struggle... See, we have a picture of the music industry over there, and it seems so rosy... People try to recreate that in Botswana and it never works... However, one vision i had for the industry here is one that you have had success with, going at it alone, and with full creative control, which allows you to really grow and to communicate your thoughts and feeling to your fans personally... I just love that...
That said, I would love to push Tech N9ne in my local community as much as possible... I bump your tracks as much as possible and as loud as I can... and whenever possible, I introduce someone new to one of your albums (usually K.O.D and All 6s and 7s), then tell them to do their research on you... I really would love you to grace our next cover, as for me, you were the biggest success of the last two years... From K.O.D, to successfully having the mainstream market listen to you, on your terms! Even I didn't think it would work this beautifully, Congratulations Tech...
I don't know if you'd spare some time for an interview in the very near future, on your terms of course, just to introduce you to our local market...
Thanks again, Eddy

When it comes to emcees other than Tech N9ne that are quick-spitting, hyper-intricate, and actually have something to say, it’s pretty much impossible to leave R.A. The Rugged Man’s name out of that short list, so it comes as no surprise that the hip hop Gods eventually brought the two together. On “Holla Loo Yuh” [...]© 2013 Created by Strange Admin.
