8 pm,
Tech N9ne, Slaughterhouse, Stevie Stone, Glasses Malone, Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun, Dirty Wormz, and C.O.D. at Austin Music Hall
Kansas City’s Tech N9ne spent years bouncing around the underground and getting by with the help of better-known rappers like Tupac and RZA. His diligence has started to pay off: 2008’s Killer won fans for Tech’s mix of machine-gun delivery, orchestra-hit hip-hop, and silky R&B backups—not to mention guestwork from Ice Cube, Scarface, and Paul Wall. He followed in 2009 with two new discs, Sickology 101, a side-project disc teaming him with labelmates and other Kansas City talent, and the brand-new K.O.D. Slaughterhouse is a hip-hop collective made up of Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and Royce Da 5’9”. Their infamous beefs with Death Row, Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and Eminem were squashed in recent single “Move On,” but there’s still a something-to-prove menace driving the group’s self-titled debut.
