Sharing is caring!

Wichita State Athletics has announced Tech N9ne will headline this year’s Shocker Madness event set for Saturday, Oct. 7, at 6:00 p.m., inside Charles Koch Arena. This event is FREE!!

Tech N9ne is the co-founder of Strange Music Inc., the number-one independent hip-hop label in the world. His signature rapid-fire “chopper” style has solidified him as one of the leading pioneers of the underground hip-hop industry. In less than two decades, Tech himself has earned three gold records, sold over two million albums, and made multiple appearances on Forbes’s “Hip-Hop Cash Kings” list.

In addition to an incredible performance from Tech N9ne, Wichita State Men’s & Women’s Basketball teams will take the floor in a scrimmage format giving fans a first-look at the teams’ new styles of play under new head coaches Paul Mills and Terry Nooner.

Doors open at 5 pm for the free event and parking is free on a first-come, first-serve basis.
