Immortal TechniqueFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felipe Andres Coronel (born February 19, 1978), better known by the stage name Immortal

Technique, is a Peruvian rapper, and an urban activist. He was born in Lima, Peru and raised in

Harlem, New York.[2]

Most of his lyrics focus on controversial issues in global politics. The views

expressed in his lyrics are largely a mixture of socialist commentary on issues such as class

hierarchy, poverty, religion, government and institutional racism.

Immortal Technique has voiced a desire to retain control over his production,[3]

and has stated in

his music that record companies, not artists themselves, profit the most from mass production and

marketing of music. He claimed in an interview to have sold close to 200,000 copies of his threeofficial releases.
