Tech N9ne has unveiled a new single, W H A T (We’re Hungry And
Thirsty), featuring Kim Dracula and HU$H.
Out today (July 7), the dark, chaotic collab follows his
previous work with everyone from Corey Taylor and Serj Tankian, and is another
example of Tech N9ne’s genre-defying ways. “Music is music, it makes no
difference what it is,” he explains. “I can like Slipknot and Public Enemy
equally. Pulse Of The Maggots and Welcome To The Terrordome are totally
different songs, but I get the same thrill from them. Or listening to something
by the Deftones might make me just as happy as De La Soul. I can’t separate it like,
‘Okay, rock does this to me, and hip-hop does that to me.’ It doesn’t work like
that. It’s music, period.”
Speaking specifically about his two collaborators this time
around, he continues: “I searched Spotify for metal rappers, and bang! This one
could be controversial because I’m talking about people who wrote the Bible and
how we’re waking up and being controlled. Kim Dracula was a perfect specimen
for this because they’re fucking lyrically crazy. HU$H killed it.”
