Tech N9ne drops his new album “ASIN9NE”.
After promoting the project for the past few weeks, Tech N9ne has decided to release his brand new album “ASIN9NE“. The project contains 17 tracks with guest appearances from Lil Wayne & Mamu Fresh on “Too Good”, Snow Tha Product & Russ on “No See Umz”, E-40 on “Clydesdale”, Joey Cool, King Los & Dwayne Johnson on “Face Off” and more.
Tech N9ne’s 23rd album, ASIN9NE, was released on October 8 with scarcely any marketing after missing anticipated dates for April and deviating from a September release date due to feature issues. Fans were pleasantly delighted by a star-studded tracklist that included Lil Wayne, Snow Tha Product, X-Raided, E-40, and Dwayne the Rock Johnson of all people, as opposed to the usual excitement that is generated from a sneak glimpse at the tracklist and features.
The project features previously released songs like “Kickiter”, “Take Your Halo”, “I Been Thru A Lot” and “Close Your Eyes”. “I had so much time during this pandemic to really make the music I feel is lyrically and musically elite for my listeners and now, it’s here! more of my current elevated mind state to ingest and keep with you for infiniti inshallah! I’m very happy for all of you to obtain then enjoy this wonderful body of work. #asin9ne out now!!!! Thank you technicians and all new comers,” he wrote on his IG.
With his usual jaw-dropping flows, high-speed cadences, and, possibly, his biggest guest list yet with his biggest guest ever, he’s brought out the big guns. He just released the music video for the new single “Face Off,” which features Joey Cool, King Iso, and Dwayne Johnson. Johnson, who has already dominated the global box office and television ratings, now has his sights set on the charts. Dwayne Johnson makes his historic rap debut, and he lands like an earthquake and a tidal wave on the rap music scene! He’s doing it again, just like he did with every other area of entertainment.

“It’s about tribe, it’s about power/We stay hungry, we devour/Put in the work, put in the hours and take what’s ours/Black and Samoan in my veins, my culture bangin’ with Strange/I change the game so what’s my muthaf**kin’ name (Rock).”
On the song, The Rock unleashes a pretty good verse. In an interview with Variety, Johnson remarked of the song’s creation, “When Tech texted me, I knew I would make this work. We’re aligned, just in terms of our work ethic and desire. When Tech and I first met years ago on the set of ‘Ballers,’ we were talking about this idea about being the hardest worker in the room. He said something that I really appreciated: basically, ‘There could never be enough food in this room or on this set that could make me full because I always want to be hungry.’ I just love that.”
The project is a follow-up to “Blight“, a collaborative effort with HU$H which dropped in June.
