The staff of XXL Magazine recently put together a list of in their opinions the best 30 Hip-Hop albums of 2015 so far. This list includes Drake, Tyler the Creator, Snoop Dogg, A$AP Rocky, and Strange Music’s TECH N9NE.
Emmanuel C.M. wrote a one paragraph statement on why he picked Tech N9ne’s album “Special Effects” as one of the best albums of the year. You can read what he said below.
Tech N9ne, Special Effects
Label: Strange Music
Release Date: May 4Tech N9ne took his biggest leap yet into the mainstream limelight with his latest album, Special Effects. Tech manages to stay at home with his angry lyrics yet crafts a bigger crossover appeal, particularly on tracks like “Hood Go Crazy.” What sticks out are the collaborators on the LP, who you generally wouldn’t picture rapping alongside the Kansas City native. 2 Chainz, B.o.B, T.I., Yo Gotti, Audio Push, Lil Wayne and Eminem all make an appearance and flesh out the end result. Always walking the line of mainstream and underground, Special Effects—his 15th solo project—is his biggest tablet to date to appease the curiosity of fans who might not know too much about the wild world of Strange Music. —Emmanuel C.M.
