Tech N9ne and Strange Music are expanding their empire, and Mackenzie Nicole will play a major role in that takeover. The teenage singer and daughter of  Travis O'Guinââco-founder of Strange Music alongside Techââis building buzz off "Actin Like You Know.â" That single finally receives the proper visual treatment. The record and video play off Mackenzie's real-life experiences as someone who dealt with pushback because of her association with Strange Music and how people perceived who she was.
âI was raised in the middle of a rap label. I was also sent to a conservative private grade school and those two things donât mesh,â she told Complex via email. âI had a teacher tell me when I was seven that my family was going to hell and that my parents perpetuated satanic worship. People saying my parents arenât raising me right is something thatâs haunted me my whole life.â
Instead of letting these negative experiences bring her down, Mackenzie has used it as inspiration, and Tech N9ne believes "Actin Like You Know" is just the start of her success. âIâve always known Mackenzie was going to be a superstar. Back when we recorded together for the first time in 2009, she was just nine years old, but I could just tell she had it," Tech told Complex. "When she sent  âActin Like You Knowâ for me to get on it, I immediately called my partner Travis at Strange and said, âAre you ready bro? 'Cause this is about to be a smash!â I was right!â
