“I listen to myself more than I listen to anything else,” laughs Tech N9ne. As he should! Tech made arguably one of the best hip hop albums of 2008 with his epic two-disc Killer. It’s a psychotic and hilarious head-trip of a record that opens up Tech’s twisted soul for all to see. Once you pop in Killer, it’s hard to turn it off because Tech is real.

He explains, “Quincy Jones told me, ‘Rap what you know, and people will forever feel you.’ What do I know better than anything? Myself [Laughs]. Ever since then, I’ve been writing about my life. The story keeps getting better.”

The story will continue on the Kansas City rap maverick’s next full-length Sickology 101: The Study of Being Sick, due out this spring. For now, in between dropping verses, Tech gave us an exclusive look at his iTunes playlist. Some of it was extremely surprising too—just like Tech is.

Check out what Tech N9ne is spinning below, and don’t forget to look for Sickology 101 this spring. Tech will definitely be listening to it!
