Tech N9ne just released one of the best hip-hop albums of the year and definitely one of his personal best, Something Else . As like last time, the good people at Strange Music were quick to find some time for me to chat with Tech about his love of my hometown Victoria, the dreams he got to fulfill on the new album and his tenuous relationship with the Black community. Tech proved once again that he's a thoughtful, engaging and humble presence, more than deserving of all the adulation and accolades that have been coming his way. Respect to Technician #1.
