About
Aaron Dontez Yates (born November 8, 1971), better known by his stage name Tech N9ne (pronounced "tech nine"), is an American rapper, songwriter, and singer. In 1999, he and business partner Travis O'Guin founded the record label Strange Music. He has sold over two million albums and his music has been featured in film, television, and interactive media. In 2009, he won the Left Field Woodie Award broadcast on mtvU.
His stage name originated from the TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun, a name given to him by rapper Black Walt due to his fast-rhyming chopper style. Yates later applied a deeper meaning to the name, stating that it stands for the complete technique of rhyme, with "tech" meaning technique and "nine" representing the number of completion.

Tech N9ne, né Aaron Dontez Yates le 8 novembre 1971 à Kansas City, est un rappeur américain. En 1999, il fonde avec Travis O'Guin le label Strange Music. Depuis le début de sa carrière, Tech N9ne compte plus de deux millions d'albums vendus dans les industries musicales, cinématographiques et vidéoludiques. Son nom de scène vient de la TEC-9, une arme automatique, faisant un rapprochement avec la vitesse de son flow. Tech N9ne donne ensuite une signification encore plus poussée, en faisant savoir qu'elle est synonyme de la technique complète de la rime, avec la technique « tech » et le sens « neuf » représentant le nombre d'achèvement.
