Last year, Tech N9ne headlined the “Something Else Tour 2013” in both the United States and Canada. Those outings were named after Tech N9ne’s 2013 album, Something Else, which is one of the most critically acclaimed albums of Tech N9ne’s career. “Big and bold the whole way through and with nary a stumble, Something Else is another triumph from Tech,” is how AllMusic.com described the project in its review, which netted four out of five stars.
