Murder Dog magazine recently had the chance to conduct an interview with Strange Music CEO Travis O’Guin and vice-president Tech N9ne. Highlights of the interview include the rise of Strange Music, 50 Cent’s recent admiration for Strange, and what the future holds for the label. Krizz Kaliko recieved a mention in the article, as Tech breaks down the beginning of their relationship:

“It was crazy cause you know Icy Roc, my producer back in the day, we did the Nnutthowze together, he did the song “This Ring” and “T9X”. I was 19 and we was in that house in the basement and Krizz lived right around the corner. I saw him in passing, but I never really talked to him, but it turned out that he was a singer and Icy Roc had been knowing him since he was a little boy. Krizz was doin music with Icy Roc, and he came over one night, asked me to do a song. He paid me money to do a song with him. I started hearing his singing ability, so I went down to an open mic show and Krizz was down there singing and doing poetry.”
