“TEC” Q&A

What have the artists said about the album?
[TEC is] like a playlist of my vibes. So it really depends on the version of Tecca that you’re looking for. There’s a lot of people that like my dancehall stuff. A lot of people like my new wave stuff that I’m on. A lot of people like my slower vibes. So just going through the whole album, you’re gonna get to what you’re looking for. There’s also new stuff.

What is the meaning behind the album's cover art?
Basically, you’re working so hard in the background, and unless you always give people updates, they don’t really know what you’re on. So this time around, I wanted to do something that’s more real-life based, like, show people my style, show people what I like. But also incorporate what I’ve done before. So it’s my tour posters on the wall, some clips, my music videos. I wanted to stand in front of all the stuff I’ve done, and also show my growth."
