Never one to back down from his beliefs, Immortal Technique has built a career on creating music that relies on revolutionary rhetoric, historical references, and cutthroat lyricism. A Peruvian-born, Harlem-raised emcee, Tech's albums are always hard-hitting and incendiary affairs: 2001's Revolutionary Vol. 1 established his rabble-rousing vibe, while '03's second installment of the series saw him focussing his lyrical wrath on issues like governmental corruption and class struggle. When he's in full flow, listening to Tech is like hearing a stirring political speech.
