“I’m telling you, the last couple of days we were so delirious, we were forgetting the words,” he said. “My people who do the booking, they know we gotta have a break, especially how we do shows. We don’t just stand on stage grabbing our crotch. I’m sizzling, we really out there cardio life. All that 99 shows in 104 days, we did it, me and MGK, never again. We proved it, we can do it.The legendary Kansas City-based rapper Tech N9ne has returned with his brand new album, Planet. Approaching 47 years old and being 20 albums in, he is still hard at work at his craft and still has a few tricks up his sleeves. Planet stands among his discography as being one of his angriest yet. The album Planet refers to a metaphorical place he named Planet Pyune, an acronym for Peaceful Youth Unit Neutralizing Earth. In an interview with Billboard, he said, “No girl deserves to be ran over by somebody who thinks they shouldn’t be marching in the street. The lead singles are “Drink Up,” “Don’t Nobody Want None,” “Bad JuJu,” and “No Reason (The Mosh Pit Song).” The industrial intro to “Drink Up” sounds like Death Grips, and with “Don’t Nobody Want None,” while catchy and dedicated to the b-boy traditions of the 1980s, does not really stand out to me. “Bad JuJu,” which features King Iso, on the other hand, is confrontational and aggressive, and is rife with Tech’s chopper-style, lightning-fast flow. “No Reason (The Mosh Pit Song),” featuring Machine Gun Kelly and Y2, is similarly acidic. It has an auto-tuned chorus by Y2, which seems like a shot at the record label Strange Entertainment – the label Tech is suing for copyright infringement.
The strongest track on the album is also its most experimental. “Brightfall” details Tech reminiscing on the evils he has done in his life and despite his religious practices and doing the right thing, evil always comes crawling back. Throughout the song there is a discordant orchestra that sounds like a choir of angels and is reminiscent of his struggles in spite of his spirituality.
