![]() “I was doing it for money for my mom at first, and it kind of spiraled into this big thing,” Fryer said. Fryer developed an interest in rap in elementary school and has been making music under the stage name Landxn Fyre since. It’s nowhere near as solid as the album, but it does a great job of letting Tech N9ne get the darkness out of system and giving his fans something to hold them over until his next project.As many artists before him, freshman Landon Fryer used music to escape family problems he was going through. Overall, it’s a solid EP with some songs any Tech N9ne fan should check out. “Like I Died (Remix)” and “Stress Relief” are solid tracks, but not anything that feels essential. “Pain Killer” and “Last Sad Song” are the highlights of the EP and definitely should have found a place on the original K.O.D. This could be my last sad song, hoping it will be”Īs an extension of K.O.D., this EP maintains the dark vibe of the LP, save for one out of place track. ![]() The King of Darkness can no longer conceal me The darkness is selling, but I really want to put y’all some light on the shelfĮven if I’m not talking about trying to kill me? Should jump right up out of myself, this shit so bad for my health Like the death of Michael Jackson, motherfucker who’s bad? Of who’s mad, a lot of my shit is too sad You want me stuck with hardships, want an unhappy artistīut I’ma break apart from this K.O.D. Whoever wants me to bark at you motherfuckers is heartless I’m the darkness so low, I’m under the carpet Y’all know I’m missing my children because I’m shaking townsĪnd y’all love my music and how sad I can make it sound Y’all know in my circle the devil steady making rounds The album ends strongly with “Last Sad Song,” where Tech best explains why he felt the need to release this E.P.: “Pain Killer” picks up where “Stress Relief” left off with Tech N9ne presenting a dark and depressing look into addiction and the emotions that can lead to it. The concept is dope, Tech N9ne compares his rap star lifestyle to that of a covert agent, but the vibe is a little too light for the EP and the song ends too quickly. “00N9NA” is a two and a half minute track that sounds a incomplete. ![]() The following track might be the one track that does not fit the album. The overly aggressive chorus might be a bit much for some, but overall the song is a success. The song is far from Tech N9ne’s most lyrical affair, but it definitely captures the angry, fight music vibe he was going for. Why you shake and shiver? Pull the fucking trigger!” I don’t give a damn, I don’t want to hear it, which one of them did it, nigga? You don’t know shit, gon’ get your dome split I’m ready to go in on, you lying son of a bitch You niggas must be crazy, are you fucking serious?įuck this god damn job, you know what? I quit! “Stress Relief” follows and takes the darkness to another level: The beat is a pounding, club worthy, number that is appropriate for the dark, but celebratory anthem. Like the Nina ain’t alive, hit the replayĮverybody love my music and the whole world cry” The song captures the dark vibe of K.O.D. The album kicks off with “Like I Died (Remix),” which remixes a song originally found on the 2009 Strange Music Sampler. The E.P., exclusively available online at his store, contains 5 songs that capture the same vibe of his “K.O.D.” album. “The Lost Scripts of K.O.D.” represents a concept that Tech N9ne felt wasn’t quite complete and decided to address with a follow up E.P. His music has purpose and his creative process reflects that. Outside of one or two bonus tracks given to his pre-order fans, Tech rarely has an overabundance of left over material from any album. While the man does produce a large amount of music, most recently dropping a double album with “Killer,” his creative process is much more focused than most rappers. Tech N9ne is not your average rapper, especially not creatively. In fact, many times the best material is found in places other than the actual album. That usually leaves them at least an album’s worth of material to spread across numerous promotional mixtapes, iTunes bonus tracks, and the occasional bonus CD, soundtrack, or compilation. The average rapper records a TON of songs for any given album and chooses the ones he feels will sell best. Given the usual creative process that goes into making the average rap album, a project like “The Lost Scripts of K.O.D.” is quite rare.
