Tech also states that he is currently working on a track with Hopsin and with Dizzy Wright. As the interview continues Tech shares a story of how Mac Dre came to a strip club Tech was running in Kansas City and expressed that he wanted to work with Tech. Later when Tech found out Mac Dre (RIP) had been shot he couldn’t believe it and called up Yukmouth to confirm. Tech was not only sadden by the news but was even more distraught to hear that Mac Dre had kids he left behind. Because Mac Dre was shot in Kansas City people associated it with Tech and turned a couple of Tech’s promo vans over in the Bay Area. After a year not going to the Bay to do shows Tech decided that he had too many people in the Bay and started doing shows again. Tech says that fans still show love for Mac Dre all over the world when he plays a tribute to him during his shows.

Pharoahe Monch On ‘The Process With Peter Rosenberg’
From Complex TV:
In our latest installment of The Process with Peter Rosenberg, Pharoahe Monch details his writing technique during his early years in Organized Konfusion. The New York rapper says it was a joint effort through and through, with him and Prince Po bouncing ideas off each other. “Back then, we were doing the music as well, so I would do a beat, Prince [Po] would do a beat, the crew would do a beat, and then we would conceptualize.” Describing the process as, “Straight pen to paper,” Monch also breaks down his “alphebet style” approach to rapping.
Later in the conversation, Pharoahe Monch talks about making a conscious effort to be conscious in his raps. “As long as you are true to who you are, it will cut through,” Pharoahe states. “I feel like if you don’t express all the different facets of who you are, you’re fronting regardless, because nobody is cerebral all the time.”
Monch also details his classic record, “Simon Says,” which he describes as a complex record despite its playful tone. “Everything in that song is calculated and thought about, even in its freestyle simplicity,” Pharoahe explains. “Because of the energy of the beat, this is not a song chorus-wise where you would ask of anything. You have to demand of something.”
