After previously announcing his Strictly Strange Tour 2017, Tech N9ne now releases the majority of the tour routing with other dates and cities still to be announced. The independent music mogul will be making stops across the country, kicking off in Omaha, Nebraska on March 22 and wrapping up Kansas City on June 4. Along for the journey will be Tech’s Strange Music labelmates Krizz Kaliko, Stevie Stone, and Ces Cru, as well as gold recording artist and former Strange Music artist, Brotha Lynch Hung.
Tech N9ne and Strange Music have become well known across the United States, and the world, for their unmatched touring operation. This morning, Pollstar, which covers the music touring business, released the full list of dates for Tech N9ne’s spring tour here. Pollstar says of the extreme road warrior, “Tech is known for his prolific touring schedules and dynamic live show. He founded Strange Music with Travis O’Guin in 2000, and the label has built an independent empire with a stable of hungry artists, a thriving tour business, and its own merchandise production facilities.”
Strange Music also released a new tour video to spread the word about the massive tour, check it out on their YouTube channel here.
Strange Music had another year of successful albums releases in 2016, including Tech N9ne’s The Storm album, released on December 9. It debuted at the No. 3 Independent Album in the country, the No. 4 project on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 9 on the Billboard 200. Krizz Kaliko released his Go album in April 2016, which displayed his multi-faceted skills as both a rapper and singer. Stevie Stone will release his new album on April 28 of this year, and rap duo Ces Cru is slated to release its Catastrophic Event Specialists album on February 10. The label is planning on releasing 13 albums in 2017.
