Born and raised in UsefulNotes/KansasCity, Yates came up in HipHop in The90s, though mainstream success eluded him through most of his career. As a member of the 57th Street Rogue Dog Villians, he saw some success with their single "Let's Get Fucked Up", and signed with Perspective Records in 1993 as a member of Nnutthowze, though they'd break up after the label dropped them. In 1997, Tech N9ne joined Yukmouth's group The Regime, and had a solo song on the soundtrack of the movie ''Film/GangRelated'', which starred Creator/JamesBelushi and Music/TupacShakur. In 1999, Tech N9ne had his biggest break up to that point, when he appeared alongside [[Music/WuTangClan RZA]], Music/{{Eminem}}, Xzibit, Pharoahe Monch, Jayo Felony, Chino XL, Music/KRSOne, and Kool G. Rap on Sway & King Tech's "The Anthem", and later that year, Tech N9ne formed his own label, Strange Music, named after the song "People Are Strange" by his favorite band, Music/TheDoors.

His rapping skills have made him one of the most successful underground hip hop artists in history, and his business skills and ability for signing talented and viable artists made the label he founded, Strange Music, a powerhouse in independent hip hop.

Much of his early worked is marked by a lenience toward [[{{Horrorcore}} the darker side of hip hop themes]], which {{UsefulNotes/Juggalo}}s found really appealing, and earned him some dedicated fans among this subculture. Tech N9ne is generally lauded for his insightful lyrics and skillful delivery of unique subject matter with intelligence and humor.

He ''really'' [[WolverinePublicity gets around collaboration-wise]], having worked with musicians as diverse as Music/BoneThugsNHarmony (there's alot of Cross-pollination regarding the fan bases), Music/{{Eminem}}, [[Music/WuTangClan RZA]], Music/LilWayne, Music/HedPE, Music/InsaneClownPosse, Music/KendrickLamar, Music/{{Twiztid}}, Music/TPain, Music[{{Xzibit}}, Pharoahe Monch, Jayo Felony, Chino XL, Music/KRSOne, Kool G.

In 2002, Tech N9ne released his most successful album up to that point, ''Absolute Power'', which debuted number 79 on the Billboard 200. The album's sales are said to have tripled following a campaign, going by the name of "F.T.I.", started by Tech N9ne and Strange Music, which asked music listeners to legally download the album free through the artist's own website was in response to the anti-downloading campaign by the RIAA. The following year also saw more noteworthy collaborations with big name rappers, as Tech N9ne appeared on a song with Music/JayZ and on Music/InsaneClownPosse's 2003 "[[UsefulNotes/AllHallowsEve Hallowicked]]" single alongside Music/BoneThugsNHarmony, Music/{{Esham}} and Music/KottonmouthKings, as well as on Music/{{Twiztid}}'s song "Serial Killa", both of which endeared Tech N9ne to a UsefulNotes/{{Juggalo}} audience, as well as some of the darker {{Horrorcore}} lyrics which Tech N9ne was putting out at the time (a style he would subsequently distance himself from).

In 2008, Tech N9ne's sales exceeded one million album sales over his entire catalog. Post-2011, Tech N9ne began to dabble in RapMetal, collaborating with Music/{{Deftones}} and forming a Rap Metal group called K.A.

They were going to release a full LP, but it [[ExtremelyLengthyCreation still hasn't come out yet]], and instead Tech N9ne recorded a NuMetal EP with producer Ross Robinson, Music/LimpBizkit guitarist Wes Borland and HardcorePunk drummer Sammy Siegler. Tech N9ne would further emerse himself into the Rock world by collaborating with [[Music/SystemOfADown Serj Tankian]], Music/FiveFingerDeathPunch [[Music/{{Slipknot}} Corey Taylor]] and Music/TheDoors. Because of the massive gets he's had over the years, he has recently gained the nickname remaining living members of The Doors, as well as remixing Music/MarilynManson's "The Herder", after a song Beautiful People" for Music/DrDre's The Pharmacy on ''[=ASIN9NE=]'' about how he's been able to work with a lot of big names.
