Felipe Coronel (born February 19 1978), better known as Immortal Technique,
is a hip hop MC and political activist. He is of Afro-Peruvian descent and
was raised in Harlem, New York. Most of his lyrics focus on
socio-political issues. The views expressed in his lyrics are largely a
mixture of commentary on issues such as poverty, religion, and racism. He
also focuses on the harsh resulting realities of criminality in the
housing projects of New York City's slums.
Although he has been offered a deal with at least one major record label,
he has never signed to any. Immortal Technique has voiced a desire to keep
control over his production, and has made statements in his music that he
is very aware that it is record companies, not the artists themselves, who
profit the most from mass production and marketing of music.
He releases his music through, and is also the president of, Viper
Records.
