You can be safe in the knowledge that your money won’t be going to greedy corporations and that you’ll be treated to some of the best political music around today. Get hold of this album whether or not you have heard of his work. Immortal Technique’s new album, The 3rd World, is released later this month. Lyrics such as “trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid, where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live” are constant throughout the album, which finally helped him break through to a wider audience. The follow-up, Revolutionary Volume 2, contains some of the sharpest music created in the US in recent years. He won a huge following in the underground scene. Technique released his first album, Revolutionary Volume 1, on his own without being signed to a label.
His track “The Message Or The Money” talks of the pressures he and other MCs face to trade lyrical independence for corporate recognition.
Throughout this time he fought against record labels that wanted to make money from his musical talent – but only at the expense of his controversial lyrics.
