Tech N9ne has partnered with Monster Energy and Warrior Built foundation (founded by U.S. Marine veteran Nick Hamm) to create a new original song and video. It was done to raise awareness about the sacrifices and hardships that the military troops endure both during and after service. It’s a known fact that troops as well as veterans face various forms of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and other obstacles in their lives.
A contest was also held where fans were asked to submit a unique verse for Tech N9ne for a chance to record and film the music video with the indie giant. It was won by Bloomington, Illinois rapper Jay Trilogy who is featured in the video along with Strange Music artist Krizz Kaliko. Watch it below.
Says Tech N9ne:
“A few years go we were blessed to be able to go on a USO tour to Bahrain and Kuwait. When I visited the camps and saw a lot of wounded soldiers, injured and missing limbs, it just touched me. These people are fighting for us to be able to do what we do here, and they couldn’t even go home to their families for Christmas. When I came back I cut off all my hair like the troops, we started wearing the boots they gave us in our stage show, and then we did a song called ‘The Noose’ with Mayday dedicated to the troops. I always felt like all these young men and women that are fighting for us, if we can give them some light, we need to.”
