Chart-topping multi-platinum hip-hop legend and the most successful independent rapper of all-time, Tech N9ne, has joined forces with platinum-certified 21st-century rock luminaries Hollywood Undead to co-headline the “Hollywood & N9ne Tour” across North America this fall. It stands out as the first full jaunt by these two genre-busting outlier forces, yet it continues a collaboration that began with the fan favorite “IDOL” in 2020. Buzzing rap phenomenon King Iso serves as the special guest with other surprise acts to be revealed soon. “Hollywood & N9ne ” launches October 16 and visits major markets coast-to-coast. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Friday, July 21 at 10am local time. For tickets and more information, visit https://hollywoodandn9netour.com/.
About the tour, Tech comments, “I’M SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS UPCOMING FALL TOUR WITH HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD AND KING ISO! A TIME TO KILL INDEED!”
“We’ve been fans of Tech N9ne since way back when,” says Hollywood Undead’s Charlie Scene.
Thus far, “IDOL” has posted up a staggering 24M Spotify streams, illuminating the excitement around their clash of talents. The band’s Johnny Three Tears adds, “Collaborating with Tech in 2020 was an unreal experience, we know touring with him will be fucking awesome.”
Tech N9ne is red hot off the biggest hit of his career, “Face Off” [feat. Joey Cool, King Iso, & Dwayne Johnson]. The latter has posted up over half-a-billion streams and ignited unparalleled viral impact. Now, Tech is on the eve of dropping his anxiously awaited new full-length album, BLISS, on July 28. Pre-order HERE. He just dropped the internet-breaking banger “W H A T” [feat. Kim Dracula and HU$H], gaining traction rapidly. Stay tuned for a whole lot more from Tech soon!
Fresh off their European Summer Festival tour, which featured massive performances at major festivals including Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring, Nova Rock, Hellfest, the genre-bending quintet Hollywood Undead are gearing up to hit the road. Hollywood Undead will tour in continued support of their eighth studio album, Hotel Kalifornia. The group recently released a deluxe version of the album that includes six new tracks, including “Evil” and “House Of Mirrors,” which features multi-genre sensation Jelly Roll.
King Iso just unveiled a powerful new single entitled “Way You Are,” dedicated to anyone diagnosed with Autism. He has consistently sold out his own headline shows and revealed his critically acclaimed album, Get Well Soon, in 2022.

MORE ABOUT TECH N9NE:
One of the most insane, influential, and impactful legacies in hip-hop belongs to TechN9ne. He has consistently accomplished the impossible from outside of the system. He’s bucked every trend, overturned all expectations, and not only built a culture, but a whole damn world with Strange Music. The craziest thing is how far he’s come since co-founding Strange Music back in 2000. The Kansas City, MO rapper has gone from packed Midwest underground shows to the annual Forbes “Cash Kings” list multiple times, the cover of XXL, the playlists of Sir Elton John and Dwayne Johnson, and national commercials for the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Beyond tallying billions of streams and views, he has scored four platinum singles, three gold singles, and a gold album. He has notched 23 entries on the Billboard Top albums Chart and remains the record holder for “most Top 10 albums on the rap chart.” Not to mention, he cracked the Top 5 of the Billboard Top 200 four times. His collaborators have ranged from Eminem, The Doors, Lil Wayne, Tupac, Boyz II Men, T.I., MGK, Flatbush Zombies, and Gary Clark, Jr. to Slipknot, System of a Down, Deftones, and Logic. Mainstream went Tech when he ignited ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! Meanwhile, Complex mused upon “How Kendrick Lamar Became a Star With Help From Tech N9ne.” He has sold out hundreds of shows as part of a relentless schedule. Not to mention, he introduced his own craft beer Bou Lou—in partnership with Kansas City’s own Boulevard Brewery.

ABOUT HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD
Not long after the turn of the century, a collective of friends congregated around a common vision bred in the gutters and back alleys of Hollywood, CA. Under the influence of everything from gritty nineties hip-hop to industrial metal (not to mention cheap booze), they climbed out of similar experiences in poverty and hardship and vaulted to the forefront of 21st century rock music on their own terms.
To this day, Hollywood Undead hinges on the bond of five individuals who relay such raw experiences into relatable anthems. However, the platinum-certified quintet—Johnny 3 Tears, J-Dog, Funny Man, Charlie Scene, and Danny—tell their story like never before on their recently released eighth full-length album, Hotel Kalifornia [Dove & Grenade Media/BMG].
“Hotel Kalifornia brings me back to a time when all that mattered was music,” adds J-Dog. “The only thing I gave a shit about was going to shows. That was it.”
Throughout 2021, the boys recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles with producers Erik Ron (I Prevail, Godsmack), Andrew Migliore (Sueco, Zero 9:36 Papa Roach), and Drew Fulk (Ice Nine Kills, Lil Wayne, Lil Peep). Working face-to-face, Hollywood Undead rekindled the unbridled intensity of their formative material, yet with refinement only possible through years of grinding on the road.
“When you listen to Hotel Kalifornia, I hope you see how far we’ve come,” Johnny 3 Tears leaves off. “J-Dog and Charlie Scene are completely different songwriters than they were 15 years ago. I’m so impressed by everyone in the band. The only thing we give a fuck about is the audience and trying to get better on each record.”
“After all of these years, people on the outside really have a hard time believing we’re still best friends,” J-Dog adds. “We’ve stayed this close even with all of the shit we’ve been through. Usually, bands break up friendships, but we’re best friends—and we always will be.”

MORE ABOUT KING ISO:
King Iso strains the constant chaos of mental health into bludgeoning, often beautiful, and always brilliant hip-hop. Since 2015, he has gone from living on the streets to a viral smash with one of the biggest stars in the world—at the speed of one of his signature cadences. After Autophobia [2016] and Dementia [2018], he unleashed World War Me [2020]. The title track “World War Me” exploded to the tune of over 2.6 million Spotify streams, followed by “G.I.’So” at 1.2 million Spotify streams. He also linked up with A-Wax to form The Brazy Bunch, dropping the dynamic and dangerous joint project Written In Blood. Logging countless miles on tour, he reached critical mass in 2021 when he linked up with Tech N9ne, Joey Cool, and none other than Dwayne Johnson for “Face Off.” King Iso only went harder when he delivered his epic full-length Get Well Soon in 2022, which has amassed nearly 10 million streams and counting. Released via Strange Music, the chaotic and cathartic album received rave reviews from HipHopDX, Rock The Bells, Underground Hip Hop Blog, and more. Following this year’s “Way You Are,” “Step Daddy,” and “My Kids,” there’s only more raw, powerful, and beautiful music to come from King Iso this year.
