Music: Hip-Hop Immortal Technique
-
- Immortal Technique
In spite of the inflated MC name, Felipe Coronel's Immortal Technique records are among the most fiercely radical in current hip-hop. While 50 Cent and others extol the "Get Rich or Die Trying" ethos, the Peru-born, Harlem-based MC is more interested in critiquing capitalism and American imperialism — one of his recent blog posts name-checks economist Leo Strauss before discussing the debasement of American currency. As Immortal Technique, Coronel delivers his indictments with a husky growl and ominous, echoing production. Four years after becoming the only unsigned rapper ever to be honored with a "Hip-Hop Quotable" in The Source, he remains independent, releasing music on his own Viper Records.
