Fuse caught up with Tech N9ne backstage at Paid Dues festival last weekend, and the veteran Kansas City rapper had some big news to share: he recorded a new track with the remaining members of '60s rock icons The Doors!
"I just did a song with the remaining members—I'm not supposed to say that!" Tech lets slip. "My dream came true. We're just trying to clear [the rights] right now."
How'd it come together? "My partner records in their studio, and he knew my story and he put us together. It's a chopper track, but it's them playing. Crazy! It's going to be hell picking the best take. The album comes out June 25."
The collabo was born from Tech's fandom: "Their fusions of music inspired me to make strange music," he says of the '60s band. "I'm totally strange, so why wouldn't that be me?"
