As Kansas City’s Tech N9ne prepares to unveil his latest offering, All 6’s and 7’s, he’s gearing up to release his “biggest” album to date. During a recent interview with Brooklyn Martino, the emcee spoke on what it means to be on such a big playing field, acknowledging that he feels his lyrics and flow have improved from past albums. He also shed light on how sobriety has impacted this improvement, how Lil Wayne affected his direction on the disc and more.
When speaking on the new record, Tech was quick to point out that sobriety has allowed him to elevate his craft.
“It’s a beautiful record,” he said about the album that drops this Tuesday, before speaking on how it differs from past albums. “All those [previous] albums, I was writing my life. Back then, I was doing drugs heavy. I’ve been clean for four years. As my life got better, so did my lyrics. I think my lyrics get better every album…Now, I’m on a bigger playing field, and I think and the beats reflect that.”
On these beats, Tech also made a choice to “recruit” new members, describing his “Pledge” introduction and how that was influenced by Lil Wayne.
“When [Lil] Wayne said my name on an interview with Funkmaster Flex from RIker’s Island, when he said he wanted to work with Andre 3000 and Tech N9ne, I knew that was going to awaken a lot of other people that wouldn’t usually look my way,” he added. “I thought, ‘I already got my fan base. It’s time to clique us up for the new fans coming in, to teach all the new fans how to become technicians.’ So I came up with a pledge.”

Sickology
Weezy n Tech N9ne for C4….
Lil Wayne sure was a cute kid!
Sorry. You lose credibility when your inspiration is Lil Wayne. I don’t care who you are.
Tell that to Nas….who recently just said that Wayne has been his inspiration
The fact that `Techn9ne is a better artiste than lil wayne would make one think it would have been growth had he Tech influenced wayne…wow, ah well I guess its the end of an era-sales over skill and substance has reached the indy powerhouse
LMAO……Tech N9ne a better artist than Lil Wayne? Since when? Never.
Lil Wayne will ALWAYS be above Tech N9ne. Always.
Jason u lil faggot…suck a big dick fuck face…Tech N9ne shits on Lil Gayne anytime of the day…get the fuck outta here…go listen to some Nicky or Drake u faggot..
Sure, faggot, that’s why Tech N9ne is being heavily influenced by Wayne and not the other way around?
Fucking idiot.
Jason will you just quit talking? You have no taste in music obviously. Quit sucking Wayne’s dick and start listening to real music. Kthxbai
I have no taste. Why? Because my taste is different than yours?
Music is entirely subjective you fucking dipshit. YOUR taste in music isn’t better than anyone else’s.
Tekka is reading your comments and he’s like “damn…”
God, Why do all these rappers have to mention Lil Wayne? He’s sooo awful!Meh
Don’t you think that it’s NOT a coincidence anymore? That all these rappers mention Wayne because they recognize an all-time legend?
Tech N9ne is one of those rappers that put out maybe one or two decent albums then sold out. He has a solid fan base but he is like the only know rapper from KC and that area.
Tech n9ne sell out, dude you are someone who hates on artist that are coming up. Every album has been a solid one and every album gets better and better.
tech is a great artist but wayne and andre 3000 are the greatest ARTIST IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS
lol you sir are an idiot. Andre is arguable, but Wayne is at most half decent. lmao you kids
^^^No, he’s not an idiot. He’s right when he says Wayne is the best artist in the game. Because he actually is
i give props to both wayne and tech there both good artist.why must people debate on whos better when its a matter of opinion thats all.i know who ever writes these comments on here can only be coming from a kids mentality when they speak cause a grown man aint got time to argue back and forth with someone they dont know over a internet website.
