Not that long ago the rap and hip-hop artist Tech N9ne took stage in NJ. Tech N9ne is known to many as the artist on top of independent artists and has been putting out albums since 1999. Tech recently took to the charts with his hit single "Fragile" featuring Kendrick Lamar, and since then his fan base continues to grow rapidly.

The tour which was deemed the "Independent Grind Tour" featured not only Tech, but other independent artists such as Freddie Gibbs, and the recent XXL freshman of the year, Jarren Benton. The bill was built with aggressive and technical hip-hop artists in mind, as once the performers took stage, the floor was filled with mosh pits. If you are to attend one of these shows be prepared to walk away with a broken nose drenched in sweat, someone else's sweat.
