Tech N9ne brought his signature dynamic stage presence and machine-gun lyrical assault to the unsuspecting audience of South by Southwest with his performance at the VIBE House on Wednesday, March 16, 2011. VIBE captured the entire set on its UStream broadcast, which garnered over 900 viewers during its entirety! It’s just another testament to this independent movement we like to call Strange Music!
