For his debut video and single from his latest album Student of the Game, N.O.R.E. enlists the help of The Strange Music General and two of his finest soldiers in Wrekonize and Bernz from ¡MAYDAY!

In this trippy music video, the black and white performance shots of the emcees are intercut with shots of a beautiful Miami woman plagued with restless sleep and nightmares. The combination makes for an arresting visual to go with an equally awesome song.

Bernz and Wrekonize of ¡MAYDAY! landed in KC, MO on some official Strange Music business that involves Tech N9ne and the studio. What’s it for? We can only guess.

The pair of Miami lyricists touched down amidst the land of snow and went to Instagram to show what they were up to. Fans were able to get a glimpse of Seven working in his new office at Strangeland studios, as well as a shot of Tech N9ne and them in the studio together.

Working on what: Tech’s upcoming album, Wrek’s, or ¡MAYDAY!’s? Possibly all three.

Only time will tell…

In honor of the brave people in uniform and just in time for Memorial Day weekend, Tech N9ne’s “The Noose” gets the music video treatment it deserves.

From his Collabos album Welcome To Strangeland and one of the most touching songs in Tech N9ne’s catalog, gets an honest and stripped-down treatment that puts the complex emotions contained in “The Noose” on full display.

The scenery is non-existent as we see Wrekonize, Tech N9ne and Bernz drop their verses straight to the camera, surrounded by nothing but darkness. The simple but highly effective music video gives full spotlight to the performers to relate the trauma of the incredible men and women that put their lives on the line on a daily basis.

For all you soldiers out there that dedicate your own lives for your country, Tech N9ne, ¡MAYDAY! and Strange Music salute you.

This video is for you.
