Battle rap has lost a prominent figure today as Philly and battle rap legend Tech 9 has allegedly passed away. People have been confusing him with another rapper Tech N9ne however they are not the same person.
Tech 9 died. Philly battle rapper. Not Tech N9ne. Two different ppl. Ya'll Tech N9ne fans who are finding this out gotta relax. Have some respect for the dead and his family. Your a piece of shit if you disrespect Tech 9's life & family just because you're glad Tech N9ne aint die
