Hardcore Hip Hop artist, born Aaron Dontez Yates on 8 November 1971 in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, releasing a string of low-selling albums. He referenced Vietnam on several tracks throughout his career: "Questions (Rough Draft)" (1999), "Who You Came to See" (2001), "Breath" (2001), and "No See Umz" (2021).A couple more minor references to the Vietnam War on this Tech N9ne album (JCOR Entertainment # 422860949-2). The song "Who You Came to See" contained the line: "boss ballin' bigger than Vietnam, we drop bombs on the boulevard", while the song "Breath" had the line "fuckin' with me you would think you were in Vietnam, when I explode ain't nothin' left but remains" - both using Vietnam as a metaphor for city and community conflict back in the US.
