TECH N9NE UNVEILS REVELATORY NEW SINGLE “THE PUNISHMENT (LOCKDOWN)” OUT NOW


HITS THE ROAD ON TOUR WITH FALLING IN REVERSE THIS MONTH



LISTEN HERE


August 2 , 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) Opening up like never before, chart-topping multiplatinum hip-hop legend and the most successful independent rapper of all-time Tech N9ne shares a revelatory new single entitled “The Punishment (Lockdown)” out today via Strange Music. Listen HERE.


A thick bass-y bounce and organic percussion anchor the rhythm, while Tech paints a picture of a formative childhood memory. Turning back the clock to high school, he recounts a particular summer where every move seemed to land him in hot water with his folks. At the time, he didn’t realize getting “grounded” would be for his own good. Bringing listeners to the kitchen table, he steps into his stepfather’s shoes, “And if you keep sneaking out next summer you’ll be on punishment again.


However, it all makes sense now, “But 17 I ran away, I didn’t understand the way he was prepping me to become the multimillionaire I am today, kept me safe, my family helped a lot, if I may highlight, I see now my stepdaddy all this time was pushing to save my life.


With screenplay-worthy narration and dialogue, Tech asserts himself as a storyteller of the highest order on “The Punishment (Lockdown).


It lands on the heels of “The Birth, which has gathered over half-a-million streams and 330K YouTube views on the music video. In addition to looks by The Hype Magazine and more, HotNewHipHop applauded how “It has a fittingly nostalgic sound, which lines up well with the lyrical content.” StupidDope praised it as “offering fans a deeper glimpse into the rapper’s life.” Listen HERE and watch the music video HERE.


Everything just sets the stage for his next solo LP 


Like the multi-headed musical hydra he is, Tech is flexing his elite lyricism in multiple lanes all at once. Last month, he unleashed  the new Collabos full-length COSM (CLASS OF STRANGE MUSIC). Listen HERE


Tech continues to break boundaries without compromise. Heavy-metal trailblazers Falling In Reverse tapped him and Alex Terrible of Slaughter To Prevail for the explosive “Ronald.” Beyond stacking up 12 million-plus Spotify streams, Tech turned up on stage during Falling In Reverse’s headlining set at Welcome To Rockville in Jacksonville, FL in front of over 55,000 fans for the single’s live debut. He left the stage in flames by delivering his standout verse with vicious vitality. Relive the moment HERE. The song also crashed the Top 10 of both the Billboard Top 10 Alternative Songs Chart and Top Hot Rock Songs Chart in addition to capturing #2 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs Chart. Not to mention, Revolver applauded “the diverse talent of rap rocker Tech N9ne, and New Noise Magazine spoke to him in-depth at Welcome To Rockville, going on to praise, “His legendary presence with his rap rock metal mix and multifaceted style captivates his fans and colleagues everywhere he goes.” 


Next up, Tech will hit the road with Falling In Reverse on The Popular Monstour II, rolling through arenas and amphitheaters coast-to-coast this summer. 


Check out the full confirmed itinerary below.

🎤 Did Eminem Finally Settle His Beef with Limp Bizkit and MGK in "Guilty Conscience 2"? 🤔

Eminem, MGK, Limp Bizkit

Eminem has just dropped his 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), and it’s causing a stir!


🌪️ Among the tracks, "Guilty Conscience 2" stands out as a closure to his long-standing feuds with Limp Bizkit and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK). This album symbolically marks the end of his infamous alter ego, Slim Shady.


🎭Inspired by his 1999 album, The Slim Shady LP, "Guilty Conscience 2" is a dialogue between Eminem and Slim Shady, touching on controversial topics from his career. 🎤💬


🔥 Slim Shady vs. Limp Bizkit: The Beef Breakdown 🥊


Eminem, a.k.a. Slim Shady, has had his share of beefs. In "Guilty Conscience 2," he metaphorically "shoots" Slim Shady and disses celebs like Christopher Reeve, Ja Rule, MGK, Nick Cannon, Limp Bizkit, Will Smith, and Benzino.


He raps:

"Christopher, MGK, Nick / And for Limp Bizkit and them / Midgets and Ben / 'Zino, in addition to him / Will Smith and to Canibus / If you're listening, this is the end / So to Jamar and Ja Rule and to all / My feuds including ma / I'm welcoming you to my / Last hoorah, I bid you goodbye."

In the early 2000s, Eminem even appeared in Limp Bizkit’s "Break Stuff" video, but things soured by 2001. Limp Bizkit got involved in Em's feud with rapper Everlast, and the fallout was messy.


Em explained:


"The reason I dissed Limp Bizkit is because they’re little f***ing girls. When all the beef with Everlast was going on, they wanted to jump in with me, then backed out because of DJ Lethal’s loyalty to Everlast."

💥 The MGK Saga: A Heated Exchange 🔥


The Eminem-MGK feud started when MGK made inappropriate comments about Eminem's then-underage daughter, Hailie. In 2012, MGK tweeted about finding Hailie attractive, leading to his ban from Eminem's radio station, Shade 45. This hurt MGK's career significantly.


MGK dissed Eminem in a Tech N9ne feature in 2018, prompting Eminem to hit back in his album Kamikaze. In "Not Alike"


Em rapped:


"But next time you don’t gotta use Tech N9ne if you wanna come at me with a sub-machine gun / And I’m talking to you but you already know who the fuck you are, Kelly / I don’t use sublims and sure as f**k don’t sneak-diss."

MGK responded with "Rap Devil," but Eminem's "Killshot" delivered the knockout blow:


"I say one call to Interscope and you're Swayze / Your reply got the crowd yelling, 'Woo' / So before you die let's see who can out-petty who / With your corny lines (Slim you're old) / Ow, Kelly, ooh, but I'm 45 and I'm still outselling you / By 29 I had three albums that had blew / Now let's talk about somethin' I don't really do / Go in someone's daughter's mouth stealin' food."

Eminem continued with:


"It's your moment, this is it / As big as you're gonna get, so enjoy it / Had to give you a career to destroy it."

They exchanged jabs in interviews, but "Guilty Conscience 2" seems to end it all. Meanwhile, MGK has shifted to rock music. 🎸



"Did Eminem finally settle his beef with Limp Bizkit and MGK in 'Guilty Conscience 2'? 🎤💥
