Who is Immortal Technique?

Felipe Andres Coronel, better known by the stage name Immortal Technique, is a Peruvian born American rapper as well as an urban activist. He was born in Lima, Peru and raised in Harlem, New York. Most of his lyrics focus on controversial issues in global politics.

Immortal Technique has voiced a desire to retain control over his production, and has stated in his music that record companies, not artists themselves, profit the most from mass production and marketing of music.
