Kansas City, MO was in the house last Monday night as a bunch of hip-hop heads witnessed for the first time the lethal lyrical beatdown from Tech N9NE at the House Of Blues. What a show!

Cuts like "Psycho Bitch" & "I'ma A Playa" & his latest joint "Imma Tell" had the entire house rockin'! Big ups to Tech N9NE & lookout for him at a city near you...
