How are artists like Tech 9 able to sustain so consistently.....

[JasonSJackson]

Without growing their core audience? And if he is, how's he doing it? I have never heard a tech 9 track in my life....and I've been here awhile. So how is he doing it?

Is he doing festivals? If so which ones? Cause for real, whatever Tech 9 is doing is working like a ma fugga.

People need to be studying whatever he's doing.

Being independent, making music that's true to you and satisfying your fan base.
I know I know, it's hard to believe that someone in Hip Hop has loyal fans.

Most people dont wanto work hard.

Hes easily the hardest working cat in the industry.

In 2013 strange music had the most album in the billboard rap charts for the year.

But....according to coli only cacs like tech.


And according to coli cac fans of rap arent loyal and jump from one fad to the next.

he has been growing his fan base steadily over the last 10+ years. constant touring, festivals, willing to GROW a fan base in a new town. do a gig in a small venue, keep going back and getting bigger, amazing live show. he has dedicated fans because he is dedicated to them. they (generally) allow him to grow & try new things which means his music doesn't get stale. a lot of his "fans" complained when he made songs with T Pain & Weezy but he didn't use those songs as singles, he didn't change his style to make a typical Lil Wayne song to appeal to the masses.

Tech could make a new genre if he wanted
Like hip rock or something kinda punkish

But it would end up being just 1 song becuz thats what he does.

Ice T has a rap rock record out. The lyrics are good, it's just that I can't feel too comfortable with the noise in the back. I like the guitars, but not laced like that.

you mean like a few months ago when he released a 7 song EP of rock songs produced by Ross Robinson who produced for bands like Korn & Limp Bizkit.





he's been talking about a KABOSH album for years which is a whole album of rock songs with a full band & everything.

Im not gonna say ONLY.. But the majority of his fans are indeed white.. Lets not pretend its not.

devil worshipping crackas.

Travis O'Guinn is a mastermind and Tech is a work-a-holic


That's a recipe for success in any field

Yup. They released 12 albums in 2013.

THey also bought a new warehouse for all their merchandise to ship out of, built a new studio, have in house producers, mixers, an in house film crew for videos.


But, that shyt wasnt over night. Thats ten plus years of hard grinding. Playing any show no matter how small or large. Touring 200 days a year for like ten years straight.


You see most indy artists grind for a a year or two then fall off. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication and sacrifice to build something like he has. Most people dont have that in them.


But it really boils down to he puts on an absolute amazing live show. If he wasnt so great live he wouldnt be where he is today. I first saw him at rock the bells ans he won me over as a fan because he gives it 100%.
