Tech N9ne is know as a formidable lyrical force in hip-hop, and also as an eclectic and creative mind capable of anything. Moreover, he proves as such on his new album BLISS, a long, epic, and feature-filled project that mixes in too many influences to count. There's live funky instrumentation, heavy trap percussion and bass, metal forays, more classic rap instrumentals, and much more. Through it all, the Kansas City MC, who's one of hip-hop's biggest earners, makes music so vibrant and eccentric that you wouldn't assume that he's making more money than more mainstream acts.

Furthermore, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the lyrical and songwriting talent on display is sure to resonate with many. In addition, the album is long enough to let that versatility and variety thrive for an extended period of time and not just a couple of tracks. In pretty much every track here, you will find sharp, zany, and charismatic bars from Tech N9ne along with an absolutely relentless flow. Other standout performances on BLISS include Conway The Machine and Joyner Lucas on "Knock" and Joey Cool's smooth performance on "Wess Paul Bennett."
