Something Else (Tech N9ne album) On February 8, 2013, the album was first announced on the Strange Music blog.[1] During the preview on the Strange Music blog, Tech N9ne spoke about what to expect from the album, saying: The beats sound nothing like anything you’ve ever heard me on.
The features that I’m going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it’s a very human album. What I mean by that is that it’s contradictory. On one song I say, ‘The saint is ours’, like we’re in the saint’s corner and then I have another song called ‘I’m Not A Saint’. The Eminem Show.

Background[edit] The album was conceived during West's self-imposed exile in Oahu, Hawaii, following a period of legal and public image controversy amid an overworked mental state.[1] West later said that his fatigue from overworking led to his controversial outburst at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, his disgust with its ensuing media response, and his hiatus from recording.[1] Amid negative response to the incident,[2] his scheduled tour with recording artist Lady Gaga in promotion of his previous album, 808s & Heartbreak, was cancelled on October 1, 2009, without citing a reason.[3] It was formerly known as Good Ass Job and tentatively Dark Twisted Fantasy.[4][5][6] GOOD Music artist Big Sean was the second to announce the title of the album as Good Ass Job.[7] On July 24, 2010, on Kanye West's blog, a banner appeared reading "My Dark Twisted Fantasy Trailer".

The video for Mbongwana Star’s debut single, Malukayi, was a mysterious and rather compelling thing.
Figures loom out of a low-lit, smoke-wreathed gloom: a dancer, a frantic percussionist, a couple of middle-aged men in wheelchairs, and, most intriguingly, a spaceman wandering the streets of Kinshasa. The latter seemed like the perfect metaphor for a track that seemed to have fallen out of the sky, that somehow managed to be both identifiably Congolese – you can’t mistake the amplified likembes of guest stars Konono No 1 – and utterly unlike anything else the fertile Kinshasa music scene had yet produced: hypnotic rhythm patterns that clattered and echoed as if they were being played at the end of a vast tunnel; vocals coated with so much distortion they sounded like something picked up on a shortwave radio; a beautiful, keening male voice marooned over spacey electronics and mournful gusts of feedback to eerie effect.
But quite what Farrell plays on the album isn’t entirely clear. Untitled. Fetty Wap is the eponymous debut studio album by American hip hop recording artist Fetty Wap.

He engrossed himself with writing and recording, and owing to his reputation as a musical auteur, labored over the details of each song, ultimately causing the release date to be delayed by two months. In contrast to the psychedelic rock sound of the project's prior work, Currents marks a shift to more dance-oriented music, with more emphasis placed on synthesizers than guitars. Parker was inspired to seek a change out of desire to hear Tame Impala's music played in dance clubs and a more communal setting. The Slim Shady LP. The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album and the major-label debut by American rapper Eminem.
It was released on February 23, 1999, under Interscope Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment. Recorded in Ferndale, Michigan following Eminem's recruitment by Dr.
