The major strength of this song is Tech’s use of emotion.  The rage and anger in his voice really gives the listener the feeling that Tech N9ne is fed up with his current situation and just can’t take it anymore.  That feeling of rage and confusion that everybody gets when nothing seems to be going right for them and that one last person just crosses the line.  Tech N9ne isn’t just all emotion on “Stress Relief”, he still brings the hard lines that you expect from him.  From the little things like rhyming the intro lines to song:

“This is for just when you can’t take it no more
When all your kindness has gone out the door
When injustice and bullshit talk has yet to cease
Every once in a while you have to flip out and get some stress relief.”

Tech steps up his lyrics later in the song with the following lines:

“Sometimes ya gotta let loose and flip on a fuckin nuisance
Stress release when you can not give a damn about they two cents”

As I stated earlier though, the real aspect that makes this song is the emotion in the lyrics.  Next time you are having a bad day, put on this song and channel Tech N9ne’s aggression for your own personal stress relief.

Tech N9ne has released his first ever EP, The Lost Scripts of K.O.D. Strange Music owes much of it’s success to putting the fans first and The Lost Scripts of K.O.D. displays this business ethic in full-color. We sat down and talked to Tech to get the full-story on this EP release. Tech initially posted these song ideas on his fan-forum as things he had to get out of his system, but after K.O.D. was released, the songs were shelved. Tech desperately wanted to get away from the dark side he explored so in-depth on K.O.D.:  “At that time I didn’t fully realize I wanted to get out of the darkness that was pulling me into a hole, and wanted to move onto lighter shit, more ‘Caribou Lou’ kind of party shit,” Tech told us, “but after awhile Travis (CEO, Strange Music) reminded me, ‘you know, you promised your fans those new songs right?’” Despite Tech’s desperate wishes to avoid revisiting the demons he explored on K.O.D., he stayed true to his promise, and went back to record The Lost Scripts of K.O.D., with songs like “Pain Killer” in which Tech writes about shooting himself. “I gave ‘em what I said I would give ‘em. It’s one that they should hold on to because there’s not going to be another one like it.” The Lost Scripts of K.O.D. is now available exclusively for download on iTunes.
