Leading up to the release of All 6’s And 7’s, hip hop aficionado and Shade 45 producer Al Lindstrom interviewed Tech N9ne for a feature piece on Allindstrom.com. In this brilliantly insightful interview, Tech takes us back to his early career before he was the most successful independent artist in Hip Hop history. Tech tells stories of being signed to Perspective Records by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, spending a summer in New York with the Perspective crew, hanging out with Tupac Shakur, and more. Part one of the interview is an in-depth look at Tech’s beginnings, and lends perspective to some of the situations that helped him become the master lyricist we know and love.
