Tech N9ne by Tamara Palmer

Killer, the ambitious double album from Kansas City rapper Tech N9ne, debuted atop Billboard's independent albums chart last month. The success of Tech's 11th full-length could help the rapper reach the admirable goal of selling more than a million albums without a major label. Thinking independently isn't the only influence he's drawn from the Bay Area rap scene — he has long collaborated and mingled with our local rap stars. Killer finds him twisting his tongue as creatively as E-40, as politically as Paris, and as playfully as Mac Dre.
