The Skip 5 Show #10: Tech N9ne (f. Serj Tankian, w. Krizz Kaliko) – Straight Out The Gate

Today, iTunes randomizer was very good to me. I love everything about this track, found on Tech’s 2013 Something Else album. I love the aggression juxtaposed against beauty, the swagger and power in the beat, the lyrical message, and that damn hook that stays stuck in your head all day. It’s damn lifting.

Tech is well-known, and yet still somehow completely underrated despite being at the top of his game for ages. Serj, well, he’s just always been amazing. Thrown in together, they’ve made this one helluva track. TURN IT UP.

We are the children of your rivals
Holding guns while reading bibles
Go ahead and seal your fate…
