This is our Beginner's Guide to Tech N9ne. The following were selected based on notoriety, accessibility, diversity and presence as part of Tech's unbelievably strong live show. While we know narrowing down a beginner's guide to Tech N9ne is going to run the ire of countless Tech-nitions, we're sure if you like these five tracks you're going to find plenty more in the comments. To remedy this, we at the Weekly put together this list of five starting points for the Tech-curious to sample what the MC is all about before his gig at the Observatory on Sunday. As prolific with releases as he is with his arsenal of flows, there's no shortage of Tech N9ne for fans to obsess over, but for newer listeners it can seem like an ocean of releases with no clean coast to jump into. Basically, if you've yet to become a fan of the staccato Kansas City spitter, chances are you're feeling both left out as well as somewhat intimidated by his absolutely daunting catalog. He's been everywhere from a featured guest on a Lil Wayne album to the Gathering of the Juggalos to often being the only hip-hop headliner booked on some of the world's biggest metal festivals. The Kansas City native has been one of the hottest names on the independent scene for over 15 years, growing his fanbase with each passing year, most recently reaching the point where his status as an underground legend and his tip-toeing on the precipice of being a full-fledged mainstream superstar is increasingly blurred. His next album, The Storm, is slated for September.

If you're a diehard hip-hop fan, you've probably seen the name Tech N9ne appear quite a few times, most recently with the #4 album in the country, Special Effects.
