Collabos: The Gates Mixed Plate

Collabos: The Gates Mixed Plate is the tenth studio album by American rapper Tech N9ne, his seventh for Strange Music, and the third in his "collabos" series. The album is marked by considerably "lighter" music than his previous outing, K.O.D., as Tech believed he had lost himself in the darkness of that album. Named for a dish at Gates Barbecue, a popular Kansas City restaurant chain, the album is largely party-themed with light-hearted subject matter. The album was released July 27, 2010, and sold 17,000 copies its first week. To date, it has sold 73,000 copies.
==Reception==
