"Shadows On The Road" does a excellent job of capturing Tech N9ne's paranoid thought process. The last part of the album, entitled "The Hole," contains perhaps some of Tech N9ne's deepest songs in years. "Demons" and "Blackened The Sun" serve as metaphors for Tech N9ne's frustrations. In fact, with the exception of the middle of the album, a section Tech N9ne entitles "Madness," most of K.O.D. It's quite a juxtaposition with the darkness that envelopes Tech N9ne for the remainder of the album, but serves as a way to keep the album's dark tones rooted in reality. The message on the song is clear, Tech N9ne is going through some deeply personal problems that are making him seriously question his belief in God. I'm 'bout ninety-nine, but I need a hundred percent proof!" To let me know that you're coming or en route Or another, you're gonna have to curse me or burst me with a sun ray In the church every Sunday, I've been searchin for one way It better get better quick, how you let her get sick with bread invested? Psychiatrist forever tested, Reverend blessed itīrethren, heaven, Tech is begging for effin' X-Mas Next threat is lupis on top of epileptic! Never rested! This lady as crazy and has made me this, SCEPTIC! Like she an atheist, maybe it's the faith that is makin How come an angel gotta be sick in the pancreas? How does a prophet who love God as his father She been through trauma, mo' drama, the dawn is gone, it's more tinted "Ey, my momma, my momma, my momma is so tormented
"Show Me A God" is a song so meaningful to Tech N9ne that he had to put it before the introduction to his new album: The album's first song answers those questions very clearly. With such a successful formula, one wonders why Tech N9ne would choose to veer from it at this point. The result has been plenty of sales and success for the independent rapper.
His albums are still injected with the same dark paranoia that made him famous, but it is layered with a smoother sound and party anthems galore. While some fans balked at the change in direction, it has worked wonders for Tech N9ne and his Strange Music label. He signed Kansas City street rappers to his label and shifted his focus to making music that was more commercial and universal. After receiving backlash from his hometown fans, Tech N9ne made it a point to show that he was not the devil worshipping horrorcore rapper they stereotyped him to be. If that were true, it would be a sharp departure from the image Tech N9ne has spent years building. It was rumored to be Tech N9ne's return to the darker sound which made him popular. The title was first announced as "K.O.D." with no information on what the letters stood for. Tech N9ne's latest album was shrouded with controversy and hype from the minute it was announced.
