Back in November, the Strange Music CEO released powerful new video for the track “What If It Was Me” featuring Krizz Kaliko. The emotionally-charged visual tackles the recent news stories of police-involved shootings and their unfortunate outcomes, having Tech and Krizz playing the roles of both the police and the “suspects.”
“What If It Was Me” is a track off of Tech’s upcoming studio album, The Storm, which drops on December 9 on his Strange Music label.
The Storm will feature 20 tracks from Tech N9ne and are divided into three different parts. Tech opens the album with “Kingdom,” which displays his narcissistic side. The Forbes List Hip Hop Cash King then takes listeners to “Clown Town,” where the darkness inside in his mind is delved into before he closes out with his gangster side, “G Zone.”
The Storm will also feature Tech collaborating and spitting with the likes of Problem, Logic, Joyner Lucas, Marsha Ambrosius, Gary Clark Jr. and Boyz II Men. Check out the full tracklist below and the new single “Sriracha” featuring Logic and Joyner Lucas and the video “Erbody But Me” featuring Krizz Kaliko and Bizzy.
