TECH N9NE RELEASES K.O.D. OCTOBER 27, 2009 FEAT. THREE 6 MAFIA, KRIZZ KALIKO, BROTHA LYNCH HUNG, KUTT CALHOUN & MORE

TECH N9NE prepared his fans for his current masterpiece, K.O.D. when he dropped Sickology 101, the hottest collaboration album of the year. “I’m a machine,” he assured. “And I’m getting better and better.” On Oct. 27, TECH N9NE delivers the proof.

With memorable features from Academy Award winners Three 6 Mafia, Strange affiliates Krizz Kaliko, Brotha Lynch Hung and Kutt Calhoun, K.O.D. allows TECH N9NE to paint the most vivid pictures he’s ever attempted. Powered by tracks like “Show Me A God” and “Leave Me Alone,” it may be his most personal collection of songs yet.

Much of this introspection can be pinpointed to his mother’s health problems. Despite his busy touring schedule, appearances on TV and support from an ever-growing fan base, it’s these intimate battles that pushed his music to new corners and helped him release his pain on the tracks of K.O.D.

“I’ve seen so much pain recently,” TECH N9NE divulges, “so many dark things. I had to take those experiences and make something beautiful out of them. I couldn’t let myself fall into that hole with no chance of getting out.”

“I know people are feeling some of the same things I am,” continues TECH N9NE, “and maybe this will let them see that everyone has those dark things they go through. Everyone can face them and be stronger in the end.”

Boasting a career most rappers strive for, TECH N9NE has consistently proved himself to be one of the hardest working entertainers in the game. In 2008, he reaped the rewards of his tireless efforts: He SoundScanned over 1 million units, making him the most successful independent Hip-Hop artist in history.

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 he counts a total of over 4.5 million YouTube video plays and an average of 40,000 MySpace visitors each day.
