"I'm the bedrock & cycle n***a," Tech N9ne tells Rolling Stone. Afterwards alive with the Deftones for the song "If I Could" on 2011's All 6s and 7s, the Kansas City, Missouri rapper is demography addition footfall appear new sounds on his accessible Something Else.
"One of the associates of a big, humongous bedrock bandage did a song with me," he told us if we visited with him backstage at Paid Dues Independent Hip-Hop Festival in San Bernardino. Afterwards debating whether he should discharge the beans, he appear that it is System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian, who appears on the aperture clue to Something Else.
As a huge fan, Tech accomplished out to Tankian. "I anticipate he is fucking batty lyrically, musically, spiritually . . . Totally cluster-fuck-ish like myself – you never apperceive what's traveling to appear in the music," he said. "If you allocution to Serj, he'll apparently acquaint you he knew annihilation about Tech N9ne until the song was beatific to him, and afterwards alert to it he went and got all my music, and it makes him run faster on the treadmill."

Tankian accepted Tech's story. "I had not heard of Tech N9ne if we were beatific the track," he said. "I arrested out a agglomeration of his songs and absolutely got into his flow, acuteness and dynamics, and I agreed to sing on it," Tankian told Rolling Stone. "Originality in hip-hop and bedrock are harder to appear by."
Now that the two accept formed a alternate account society, Tech has top hopes for the approaching of the track. "The song's gonna be big. I would adulation to shoot a video," he said.
Tankian isn't the alone big-name bedfellow on Something Else. "I formed with humans who I accounted absurd musically, lyrically," said Tech. "Cee Lo came through and did a choir for me on a song alleged 'That's My Kid,' with Big Krit and Game. It's about our kids advancing up, not afterward our abrogating footsteps. They latched assimilate added things that are positive. And now we're traveling to graduation saying, 'That's my kid appropriate there,' instead of seeing them abandon in the night air."
With the almanac not absolutely done there are a few appearance up in the air, including one Tech capital to go to Corey Taylor, who was not accessible timing-wise. He has added rockers in mind. "I ability forward it to James Hetfield," he said. "I heard he was a fan. I heard they [Metallica] balmy up to my song 'Einstein.'"
Tech has a brace of objectives in mind. One is to accompany his collaborators into his world: "Something Else is declared to be something abroad – I'm demography altered artists out of their element, putting them in a aberrant land."
The added ambition is to let boilerplate admirers apperceive just who Tech N9ne is. "This anthology is gonna appearance everybody that I'm actuality to break and I'm not a fluke," he said. Given his constant address as a reside draw and seven beeline albums charting in the top 10 of the Billboard Rap charts, that he feels underappreciated is surprising.
"Of the humans who watch television and accept to the radio all the time, a lot of them don't know," he said, "because we're not on the radio or videos like that, in a abundant circling like a 2 Chainz or Lil Wayne. But we pop up in those circles because absolute bits consistently shines."
And he expects admirers who aren't acquainted that Tech has SoundScanned over a actor albums to pay absorption this summer. "Something Else is gonna be one of those ones that humans are gonna say, 'Whoa,'" he said. "Just the appearance I told you are huge. They're gonna all vouch for me. I'm absolute – everybody does it out of respect."
