Tech N9ne unveils the latest installment from his “Collabos” series entitled “COSM (Class Of Strange Music).”

To celebrate the arrival of the album, Tech shares a new music video for “No Popcorn” featuring Fatman Scoop. A funky bounce drives the track, infusing it with Tech’s incendiary trademark flow, all the while delivering a poignant message on his view of the current state of hip-hop. In the visual, Tech takes it back to a nostalgic drive-in movie theater setting, minus the popcorn.

“COSM” might just be the most dynamic and diverse “Collabos” LP yet. Tech N9ne locks into a lyrical crossfire with Joey Cool, Kevin Gates and Snow Tha Product on the triumphant “ZOD (I Win I Always Win).”

Elsewhere, the bars hit like bullets on “Sniper’s Remorse” featuring King Iso and Trae Tha Truth. Then, there’s “The Ghost Of Roestta Tharpe” featuring Ako Mack and Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust. Amplifying a core mission statement, pummeling guitars underline Lajon’s hard-hitting hook, “We’re not the imitation, we’re the original,” finally giving way to a soulful breakdown, “I don’t care what they say about us.”

The trip concludes on the bluesy country rap epic “Ain’t Gon Be Another” featuring Blane Howard andJehry Robinson. Several more of Tech N9ne’s past and present Strange labelmates appear on the LP alongside an impressive lineup of hand-picked musical peers he personally enlisted.

The result: 23-tracks of genre-bending collaborations that only the ambition of Tech N9ne could pull off in today’s musical climate.

Speaking on COSM, Tech said: “I’m very pleased with the way this ‘Collabos’ project turned out and grateful to all of the top tier artists who participated. All of these musicians coming together, no matter the genre, and creating incredible art, is very Hip-Hop!”
