MORE INFORMATION ON THE INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS PERFORMING -

TECH N9NE’s presence in the industry refuses to cease its expansion. Known for his hardcore touring ethic and bar-setting stage performances, TECH N9NE continues to up the ante for other touring rap artists. Bringing his memorable hits to the masses, songs like “I’m A Playa”, “Caribou Lou”, “Riotmaker”, “Like Yeah” and “Everybody Move”, TECH N9NE proves he can deliver live as well as on CD. Having released the epic “Killer” in July of 2008, which debuted at Number One on the Billboard Top Independent Album charts and Number Twelve on the Billboard Top 200 Albums, TECH N9NE followed up the groundbreaking double-album with two headlining nationwide tours, providing further evidence that he is the hardest touring artist in Hip Hop. His latest solo album, “K.O.D.”, which debuted at Number One on the Billboard Top Independent Album charts, provided the basis for the 50+ city K.O.D. Tour. Proving that his touring ethic is nothing short of relentless, prior to embarking on the K.O.D. Tour, Tech spent his summer taking part in the 2009 Rock The Bells Tour, which saw him perform alongside such luminaries as Nas, Damien Marley, House of Pain/La Coka Nostra and The Wu Tang Clan. Enjoying the recent successes at radio, as well as winning an MTV Woodie Award, TECH N9NE continues to establish himself as an expanding force in the music industry. TECH N9NE’s most recent project, “THE LOST SCRIPTS OF K.O.D.”, is a musical addendum to the full-length album, “K.O.D.”, adding fuel to an already fervent fire.

BROTHA LYNCH HUNG makes his return to the forefront of the rap scene with his Strange Music debut, “Dinner And A Movie”. Having been a staple of the underground/independent rap scene for years – having sold in excess of 1.4 million albums - Brotha Lynch Hung brings his dark, graphic lyricism to Strange Music on a tour where he promises to make a meal of lesser MCs.

KRIZZ KALIKO, long known for sharing the stage with Tech N9ne and performing on some of Tech’s biggest hits, is in the midst of an uprising. Having recently released his second album under Strange Music, the incomparable “Genius”, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Rap chart, Krizz Kaliko is gaining recognition throughout the industry for his musical opus. With an energy and presence that demand attention, Krizz steps into the spotlight, well on his way to becoming a noticeable talent in his own right.

KUTT CALHOUN has been hitting the road with Tech N9ne for years, performing alongside the independent superstar and releasing two of his own albums under Strange Music – most recently, “Feature Presentation”. Kutt brings an attention-grabbing presence to the stage - with a flow that rings familiar, almost old-school at times, and dance moves that compliment his fluid, percussive rhymes, he’s an MC that’s not to be missed.

BIG SCOOB brings a decidedly “street” presence to the label. Having been associated with Tech N9ne for years, Big Scoob is no stranger to the stage, performing his honest and hard-hitting raps to crowds long before being signed to Strange. His first Strange Music album, “Tech N9ne Presents Big Scoob Monsterifik”, is filled with hood anthems and a grit never before seen with Strange.

PROZAK is an undeniable presence and, as the “Hitchcock Of Hip Hop”, brings a powerfully macabre sound, as evidenced on his most recent release, “Tales From The Sick”. Prozak spent 2009 touring with the likes of Twiztid and performing close to 100 shows on his own. With an intense stage show and dark, hard-hitting songs, Prozak never fails to incite the crowd into a heated frenzy.

COGNITO, Strange Music’s newest artist, comes straight from the Bay Area with his debut Strange album, “Automatic” which hit stores on April 20th. With clever wordplay and undeniable hooks, Cognito is an energetic performer with lyrical skills to match.
