Techniec Biography: From LBC Crew Legend to West Coast Visionary

Techniec is more than an MC—he is a creator, lyricist, and wordsmith from Long Beach, California, whose presence has shaped the landscape of West Coast hip hop. As a founding member of the legendary LBC Crew, he first made his mark on the culture with the breakout single “Beware of My Crew” from the A Thin Line Between Love and Hate soundtrack, starring Martin Lawrence.

From those early steps, Techniec’s trajectory carried him alongside icons. Discovered by Big C Style, he signed his first deal with Doggystyle Records, the celebrated offshoot of Death Row Records. His pen and voice soon appeared on cornerstone projects including Snoop Dogg’s The Doggfather and Daz Dillinger’s Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back.

Techniec’s career advanced as he joined Hoo Bangin’ Records, led by Westside Connection’s Mack 10, where his writing and features elevated projects such as Mack 10’s The Recipe, Paper Route, and MC Eiht’s Section 8. On Mack 10 Presents Da Hood, XXL magazine noted that “Techniec stole the show.”

Beyond industry acclaim, Techniec helped drive the momentum of Dynamic Certified mixtapes, energizing Los Angeles’ underground during an era when gangsta rap dominated mainstream attention. His reputation as both a skilled lyricist and a voice for Long Beach continued to grow.

Today, Techniec remains as relevant and versatile as ever. His latest work, Patience of God: Season II, introduces a series of collective pieces and collaborations, reflecting artistic maturity and innovation over world-class production. From international tours with artists like The Game and Mack 10, to serving as a motivator and unifier in his community, Techniec stands firmly as a figure of resilience and authenticity.
