A few weeks back, HNHH took a trip down to Kansas City, Missouri to get an exclusive look at Strange Music Headquarters and talk to the main forces behind the flourishing label. Two of them, Tech N9ne and Seven, are responsible for Special Effects, which just had the highest-ever first week sales for any of the label's albums. We sat down with them to discuss their beginnings, musical philosophies, recent work together and plans for the future.

From the jump, it's clear to see the two guys' mutual admiration and respect, and it doesn't seem like they'd rather be working with anyone else in the world. Tech and Seven are a rapper/producer combo that should be mentioned in the same breath as the classics-- Dre and Snoop, Eric B and Rakim, Weezy and Mannie Fresh, etc. 

Be sure to also check out the behind the scenes footage we captured later that night at Stevie Stone, Tech and Mystikal's "Rain Dance" video shoot.
