September 5th, 2003 - Tech N9ne Absolute Power Tour, Columbia MO

"Say my name five times- Tech, Tech, Tech, Tech, Tech Niiinnnnne!" is what you heard out of the speakers from the rapper Tech N9ne's microphone. The show was sold out in Columbia, Missouri at the famed Blue Note in downtown Columbia. The University of Missouri's town proved that hip hop and rap is definitely "ALIVE" in the Midwest. Radio station Y107-KTXY was there doing a live remote interviewing the hottest acts on the bill that evening such as BG Bulletwound, Hobo Tone, Dwayne Baldwin a.k.a. Vic Damone Jr., Xta-C and others not on the bill that have media hype like the group A2Z releasing their new CD in October.

The lines were around the building at 6pm even though the doors didn't open until 8pm. Getting the show started the D.J's from radio station KJLU of Jefferson City, Mo were the hosts for the evening spinning the hottest RAP music available to you.
Xta-C kicked the evening off right immediately stealing the show. He started off the way his album started of by performing "Gettin Dealt With" and then a new song featuring Young Twan followed by the head banger boogie "Who Dat?". Sutter Cane then hit the floor showing all of the G's, Hustlers and players what "The walk" is really about. During that time period Xta-Ca ran out of promotional material to give to the audience, the t shirts, posters and cd's were gone, but he ended his set on the song that's bangin' the airwaves in the Midwest..."SO HEAVY".

Once the beat dropped it looked like the scene from a video as every hand was in the air up and down with the beat and every person in the audience blurting the hook, "I come through this B---- SO HEAVY, Four Fifteens in my ol skool Chevy, Foot on the gas, Headed for the Cash, if you come through trippin' then that's your a--!"

After the performance Xta-C did and interview with the radio station Y107 as they were conducting their live remote. He gave thanks to all involved and let everyone know that with support he will be at a town near you "So Heavy".
