Following an explosive release that broke traffic records and garnered the attention of all hip hop sites, Tech N9ne’s Bad Season has landed on XXLmag.com’s “100 Best Mixtapes Of 2010”. Bad Season comes in at no. 11, and even though it narrowly missed the top 10, it still outranks major mixtapes by artists like Bun B, Scarface, Jim Jones, and The Game. This is a monumental success for Tech N9ne on his first outing in the mixtape circuit. Here is what XXL said of Bad Season:

“On the highly anticipated first mixtape in the indie king’s 11-year solo career, Tech slightly tones down on the bizarre bars for an uncharacteristically more polished product.”

With all of the incredible feedback, perhaps this will open the doors for more Tech N9ne mixtapes. Click here for the full feature. Fans can still download Bad Season for free by clicking here.
