When Tech N9ne was first approached by the Kansas City Symphony to see if he wanted to collaborate, he was surprised to learn the musicians were fans of his music. “They had their whole list of songs that they wanted. I was so flattered, man,” says N9ne, who will be performing with the symphony at the Midland Theatre on May 4, which just so happens to also be the informal Star Wars Day celebrated by movie fans everywhere. “[It’s] such a wonderful feeling for them to choose you. [It’s] a beautiful thing and a wonderful marriage. I can’t wait to say ‘May the Fourth Be With You.'”
