Widely known as one of the most prolific and innovative forces in hip-hop, Tech N9ne has defied conventions and built a legacy unlike any other. With billions of streams, dozens of RIAA certifications, hundreds of sold-out shows, and a discography spanning more than three decades, he continues to push boundaries in music, business, and culture.
His catalog includes sixteen full-length solo albums, nine “Collabos” albums (his famed collaboration series), and eight EPs. He has achieved four Top 5 debuts on the Billboard 200 and holds the record for the most Top 10 albums on the Billboard Rap Chart. His hits span three decades—ranging from the platinum-certified “Caribou Lou” in the 2000s, the gold-certified “Fragile” [feat. Kendrick Lamar, ¡Mayday!, Kendall Morgan] in the 2010s, to his biggest smash of the 2020s, “Face Off” featuring Joey Cool, King Iso, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
His wide-ranging collaborations include artists like Eminem, Tupac, Lil Wayne, The Doors, Slipknot, System of a Down, Deftones, and MGK, to name a few. In 2024, he shook the Billboard Rock charts with “Ronald”—a collaboration with Falling In Reverse and Alex Terrible of Slaughter to Prevail—and sold out a performance with the Kansas City Symphony. Even Sir Elton John has professed admiration for his work.
Beyond headlining tours, Tech has performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!. He has graced the cover of XXL and been featured in Variety, People, TMZ, NY Post, Today, and Entertainment Weekly.
