Soleternity produced the song "Technicians" for Tech N9ne's chart topping 2011 album All 6's and 7's. "Technicians" combines Tech N9ne's intense, rapid-fire vocal performance style with a dubstep-hip hop hybrid instrumental from Soleternity.
Soleternity first created music for Tech N9ne's record label Strange Music in 2007 when he produced the song "Crew Cut" by Krizz Kaliko, BG Bulletwound, Kutt Calhoun, Skatterman & Snugbrim, and Tech N9ne, for Krizz Kaliko's album Vitiligo.
Soleternity and Krizz Kaliko also worked together on Krizz Kaliko's "S.I.C." EP album released in 2011, which contains the Soleternity-produced songs "Down (Featuring Tech N9ne)" and "Rain Dance."
