Tech’s albums have become successively more polished each time out and this is no exception. There’s certainly nothing musically on “Everready (The Religion)” which suggests it should be a problem. The rest of Tech’s guests tend to be a little more obscure, largely family and 57th Street affiliates, although Brother Lynch Hung gets some love on “My World” and can largely relate to N9ne’s dilemma of being a cult favorite who finds it hard to move out of regional onto a national stage.

This is heavy metal for ALL people, the kind of crunchy and funky music that hip-hoppers, skaters, backpackers and Guitar Hero addicts alike can all MOSH OUT to. ![]() Fuck it, give ALL OF ‘EM the credit, because this song lives up to the name to a T. It’s hard to tell which one of this song’s many producers should get the credit – Robert Rebeck, Tyler Lyon, or Aaron D.

Maybe because Tech N9ne is an unapologetic “Riot Maker”: Louis, Minneapolis and Chicago for years. In fact it’s highly likely N9ne is better recognized in Japan and Europe than he would be in New York City, despite the fact artists have been blowing up out of St. Tech has been a cult favorite since the late 1990’s, releasing a half-dozen albums in that time, but finding his name raised above a whisper on the coasts of America is a difficult proposition. There’s a certain amount of Midwest pride and bias in that statement, but it’s also a stone cold fact.
