The Immortal Technique

Posted on | April 13, 2008 by Mark | Comments

Felipe Coronel (born February 19, 1978), better known as Immortal Technique, is a hip hop MC and political activist. He is of Afro-Peruvian descent and was raised in Harlem, New York. Most of his lyrics focus on socio-political issues. The views expressed in his lyrics are largely a mixture of commentary on issues such as poverty, religion, and racism. He also focuses on the harsh resulting realities of criminality in the housing projects of New York City’s slums.

Although he has been offered a deal with at least one major record label,[1][2] he has never signed to any. Immortal Technique has voiced a desire to keep control over his production, and has made statements in his music that he is very aware that it is record companies, not the artists themselves, who profit the most from mass production and marketing of music and has said “He would rather make a lot of a little, than a little of a lot.”

He releases his music through, and is also the president of, Viper Records.

Internally Bleeding is one of my favourite tracks from “Revolutionay Vol. 2″  Harsh, cutting lyrics that evoke violent thoughts – quite similar to JMT
