Rumors first began around April this year but in a recent interview with HHDX, the underground prince Tech N9ne revealed that the XXL Freshman heading to his Strange Music imprint is almost final.
DX: You mentioned your Independent Grind Tour with E-40. Each year, you tour with different artists, and make an exciting, eye-opening show for your fans. Can you tell me a little bit about involving Jay Rock and Glasses Malone? Both aren’t Strange artists, but frequently work with you…
Tech N9ne: First of all, when I did the video with Estevan Oriol, “Like Yeah” [from Killer], Jay Rock came down. I’d never met him, but I’d heard him. He did that song with [Lil] Wayne, “All My Life (In The Ghetto).” He came and showed me love, he was 100. He came and told me what he had poppin’: he was on Warner Brothers, messing with [DJ] Kay Slay…he was a real cool cat. So we started talkin’, and the deal wasn’t really goin’ well with Warner. So we were like, “What if we can get in there and get Jay Rock?” We’re almost [secured] in having Jay Rock over here at Strange Music. It’s almost final. We’re just tweaking a couple things. From he being down with me to him possibly being one of my artists on Strange Music is a big thing for me.
