The Kansas City Symphony is embarking on a one-of-a-kind journey, teaming up with local hip-hop sensation Tech N9ne for a groundbreaking performance. This extraordinary event, set to take place on May 4th at the Midland Theatre, is a must-see for fans of both classical and contemporary music.
Tech N9ne, a celebrated rapper hailing from Kansas City, is set to bring his unique 'chopper rhyming style' to the stage, accompanied by the full might of the Kansas City Symphony. Jeff Barker, the Symphony's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, revealed that the collaboration was born out of a mutual admiration. The symphony, aware of Tech N9ne's attendance at their classical series concerts, reached out to him with a proposal to work together.
Tech N9ne, expressing his genuine excitement for the collaboration, said, "This is for the greats, and they chose me. I'm so thankful." He also shared his deep respect for the symphony, stating, "I've always been a lover of all types of music, and this is a testament to it. I'm based in hip hop, but throughout my whole journey in music up until now, I've always been a lover of music and sound. The symphony is icing on the cake."
The performance will be a full Tech N9ne concert experience featuring his signature style backed by the symphony's accompaniment. Fans can expect to enjoy his popular hits like "Worldwide Choppers," "Einstein," and "Am I a Psycho?" For those unfamiliar with Tech N9ne's work, he recommends listening to his 2006 album "Everready (The Religion)" to get a taste of his diverse sound.
This collaboration highlights Tech N9ne's musical talent and his deep connection to his hometown. Despite achieving global recognition, he remains a champion of Kansas City's vibrant music scene. According to Tech N9ne, "The talent here is humongous. Whatever lane you choose, it's here in a big way. There's something about the Midwest. Everything here happens in a big way when it comes to talent."
