Immortal Technique

Immortal Technique, by its real name Felipe Andres Coronel, was born in Peru before being raised in Harlem, New York. During his studies at the University of Pennsylvania, the young man was arrested and charged with aggression (in an altercation with other students), which led him to prison for 1 year. After his release, Felipe turned to political science studies but he could not afford to meet his needs and was forced to sell his music while participating in some MC battles. In 2001, Immortal Technique released its first album Revolutionary Vol. 1 thanks to the money he earns during his battles. This allows him to be quoted in The Source and to record and release Revolutionary Vol. 2 in 2003. Viper Records and Babygrande Records reissue the first opus in 2005 and 2006 respectively. The musician then started flooring on his next 2 installments, The Middle Passage and The 3rd World , the first one only debunked in 2011 while the second one was released in 2008, with DJ Green Lantern back-up on most tracks. A mixtape, The Martyr, is aired in 2011. The musician collaborated with Rockin' Squat (Assassin), Mos Def or Dead Prez . He participated in the reconstruction of an orphanage in Kabul and sang in Spanish and English in his titles, with lyrics marked by acerbic and cynical worldview.
