Tech N9ne recently sat down with Allhiphop and he revealed that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson entered the rap game not only with “Face Off.” The superstar came with his pen and intentions.
While fans and critics have long speculated whether Rock helped make his verses on the Virus 2021 single, Tech N9ne confirmed that the wrestling idol turned into a Hollywood heavyweight and didn’t rely on ghostwriters.
“He knew exactly what he wanted to say,” Tech told Allhiphop. “I just helped him build it.”
The track features Tech N9ne, Joey Cool, King ISO and Rock not only its high octane energy, but also displays surprisingly capable poetry among action stars.
Rock spits: “It’s about driving, it’s about strength / We keep hungry, we devour.” They immediately became the national anthem of the gymnasium, enjoying 88 million YouTube views in the video.
Tech recitation, recalling their writing courses. “He said ‘face-to-face, now upgrading’ – I think, n ### a paint, man. He’s so talented. He knows what he wants to do. He doesn’t lie.”
Tech made it clear that he helped shape traffic and delivery, but the idea and bars came from rocks to a large extent.
“I won’t say ‘hours’ or something he said.” “But that’s what he said. It works. It makes sense.”
The puzzle interrupts to clarify the text dynamics: “So he wrote it together.”
Technical confirmation: “Yes. Oh, yes.”
It’s a revelation that subverts typical assumptions about celebrity rap cameos, especially from people who are traditionally known for their music. The verses of Rock are not traditionally spoken, but cooperative.
Fans and fitness fans also use this verse as motivation, and even say the puzzle, “Scream to Locke. He let me stay in the gym. He let me work. I know he is the pinnacle, but I keep it inspired and thank him.”
With the co-signature of Tech N9ne, The Rock is highly respected in hip-hop culture.
Tech N9ne’s new album 5816 Forest is his belt. The lyrical origin story traces his growing age to 17 from his home at 5816 Forest Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. The works are arranged in chronological order. The project explores his early experiences of family, religion, street life and ultimately transformed into Tech N9ne.
