If it wasn’t for the big-hearted gesture of one of Tech N9ne’s relatives, we might not of ever heard one of Tech N9ne’s all-time classics, and arguably his most quintessential record: “This Ring”.

Tech took to Instagram to share the story of how the man pictured below was the original proprietor of the complex instrumental produced by IcyRoc that eventually inspired Tech to write “This Ring”.

Check out the story of the song’s creation below.

Everybody say thank you to the guy who had bought a track from icy roc for his group back in the day and I heard the song they did to the beat and loved it so much that I called him and said, “family” I gotta have that beat bro PLEASE? He was such a G that he said, Hell yeah fam do that shit! So I named the song, THIS RING! Much love to my relative @mrbiggsbiggs for letting me pour my heart out on the track he already had! Love bruh!
