Tech N9ne on the Chiefs’ community impact: ‘Crime and killings are down in Kansas City‘

@EdEastonJr spoke to award-winning artist Tech N9ne about the Chiefs’ recent success and its positive impact on the Kansas City community.

As with every professional sports franchise, the Kansas City Chiefs’ impact is to unite a community through tough times and tragedy.

Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to award-winning artist Tech N9ne about the Chiefs’ recent success and positive impact on the Kansas City community.

“Whenever the Chiefs are up, crime and killings are down in Kansas City,” Tech N9ne explained. “I’ve noticed the morale in the town. Man, when the Chiefs are up, when the Chiefs are winning, we’re all winning. I’m sure if you talk to the PD (Police Department), they will say the same thing. I mean, things change in the streets. From what I see from where I’m standing.”

Chiefs players have often given back to the community off the field and are viewed as ambassadors for the city. The tragic events at this year’s Super Bowl parade didn’t dim the light of the many fans who view the team as an escape from internal issues in their own lives but rather come together to support each other.

“I’ve heard people say it, and I felt it in the town, celebrating with the town when we’re winning. I’ve been down at KC Live! When we’re winning,” said Tech N9ne. “Like just the energy in the town, man changes. You don’t hear any stories of murders or anything. The Chiefs bring the town joy, man, happiness, and togetherness, just like music does. It’s definitely important, and it’s obviously great to hear, and just the energy that this team brings.”

Tech N9ne reflects on early Chiefs fandom, Super Bowl anthem ‘Red Kingdom’

@EdEastonJr spoke to Strange Music co-founder Tech N9ne about his earliest memory as a Chiefs fan and his creation of ‘Red Kingdom.’

The Kansas City Chiefs have the ultimate soundtrack to their success over the past few seasons, created by one of their most famous fans. This track electrifies the crowd for every game with a unique local flair.

Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Strange Music co-founder Tech N9ne about his earliest memory as a Chiefs fan and his creation of the team anthem, ‘Red Kingdom.’

“I should say it goes all the way back to five years old with my uncle Ike. My uncle Ike has always been intertwined with the Kansas City Chiefs. Uncle Ike has been intertwined in anything sports,” Tech N9ne explained. “I remember him taking me when I was five years old. Every year, I’d go to the game with him, and I’ve been a fan since I was five. Bro, I’m about to be 53 this year. I remember us going to see J.T. Smith. I was young, bro, but I remember going to see J.T. Smith a lot.”

The hit song ‘Red Kingdom’ has quickly become the team’s anthem. It is often played at Arrowhead Stadium and has been performed live during games and Super Bowl rallies since 2019.

“I remember having ‘Red Kingdom’, specifically the Chiefs organization, calling me to perform that song and other songs,” Tech N9ne said. “I went to my first Super Bowl that year, and I’ve witnessed them win, and I’ve been a fan for all those years. It’s such a magical feeling. My uncle Ike, who took me when I was five, sat next to me in the front row at the Super Bowl. If you have the Chiefs bench right there, if you look behind it, we were right there, and we got to witness the Chiefs win the Super Bowl together.

“I mean (we) looked at each other with big eyes. It is a magical feeling for me because he goes every year; ever since I was a little boy, no matter who played, he would be in that city, but I never went. I was always working on Tech N9ne, and when I started going, we started winning. Maybe I’m a good luck charm.”

Tech N9ne praises the humility of Chiefs’ stars: ‘Everybody is so down to earth’

Tech N9ne praises current Kansas City #Chiefs players’ humility: ‘Everybody is so down to earth’ w/ @EdEastonJr

The many fans of Chiefs Kingdom come from various walks of life, and some well-known celebrities have unique connections with the team and franchise culture.

Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to legendary rapper Tech N9ne about his interaction and feedback with current Chiefs players. He selected his all-time starting tight end between Tony Gonzalez and Travis Kelce.

“Everybody is so down to earth,” Tech explained. “You would think that when people make a lot of money, sometimes they lose their heads. These guys have not lost their heads at all. Man, people say the same thing about me. I’ve been a multimillionaire for some years and treat people how I want to be treated.

“I get the same vibe from Pat (Patrick Mahomes), I get the same vibe from (Travis) Kelce and Chris Jones, everybody, man, I’m saying everybody shows love and respect, (Isiah) Pacheco, all of them show big love and humility, man. Really good dudes, it’s really cool.”

Tech N9ne was one of the original performers at the first ‘Kelce Jam’ last year. The Chiefs All-Pro tight end curated a lineup of his favorite artists to entertain the Kansas City community. He made the difficult decision to respond to the question of which superstar tight end in franchise history he would choose to start for his all-time Chiefs team.

“I’m going to have to say Travis Kelce. I have love for Tony Gonzalez. I just did a signing with him a few months ago down at Union Station,” said Tech. “Man, good to see him. I’m saying that I have to go with Travis Kelce. He’s a problem.”

Tech N9ne talks new album, predicts Chiefs’ three-peat chances in new song

Tech N9ne talks new album, predicts Kansas City #Chiefs’ three-peat chances in new song w/ @EdEastonJr

The Kansas City Chiefs are focused on completing the unprecedented three-peat this season as they seek another trip to the Super Bowl. Each season has its rally inspiration, and it appears the creator of ‘Red Kingdom’ has another song to motivate the team.

Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to award-winning artist Tech N9ne about his new album ‘Tech N9ne Collabos – COSM’ (Class of Stange Music) and a song from the project that helps predict the Chiefs’ 2024 season.

“My partner, Travis (O’Guin), came to me like we need another Collabo,” Tech explained. “We haven’t had one in seven years. I’m like, yo, I think I have a perfect name for it; we’re going to call it COSM, Class of Strange Music. This time, we will go outside of Strange Music artists and back to previous Strange Music artists all around the spectrum. I ended up having a song with Killer Mike and Hopson on it, with Ordained.

“I didn’t have any barriers to creating COSM. People who were with Strange (Music) aren’t with Strange (Music) anymore. People connected spiritually and musically. Strange (Music) also got a piece of that. I couldn’t name everybody because it’s so many, it’s such a big album, and the people in Kansas City that came through there are so many male and female rappers as well. I’m so proud of this project.”

Tech N9ne is on tour, but he provided a song from the new album that best describes the Chiefs’ mindset heading into the 2024 season.

“We’re the best team, and it will happen again. I have this song on COSM called ZOD (I Win, I Always Win). I say we win a whole lot, green light and no stops. I’m going to be your roadblock,” said Tech. “We always win, win, win. What? Again and again and again and again. It’s going to keep happening. ZOD is the prediction. That’s the one with Kevin Gates, Snow Tha Product, and Joey Cool on the song with me. ZOD tells you that we’re going to win, win, win, again and again and again and again. So that’s the prediction.
