After a short intermission, the lights dimmed and it was time for Tech N9ne!

With hits like “Caribou Lou” and “Hood Go Crazy,” Tech has released over 20 albums and earned a massive cult following. He’s sold millions of records, had several projects chart on the Billboard 200 (including multiple top 10 debuts), and was honored with the Independent Icon Award at the 2019 Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

His set was absolutely awesome! The second the lights dropped and those blue and red beams started cutting through the haze, the energy in the room skyrocketed. The lighting setup was seriously cool and set the perfect vibe for his intense, rapid-fire style. When Tech hit the stage wearing a gold crown with ruby accents, the crowd went nuts—and rightfully so. He looked like royalty and performed like it too. His flow was flawless, his stage presence was electric, and every song hit hard. The crowd was all-in from start to finish, shouting lyrics, throwing up hand signs, and feeding off his energy. It was clear everyone there was having the time of their lives.
