Outspoken rapper Immortal Technique’s first album is pretty fucking amazing. Born in Peru, grew up in Harlem, started a reputation as a ferocious battle MC. Using the money from battles, he produced this, Revolutionary Vol. 1.

Whatever the topic, Immortal Technique raps with utter conviction, even in the track “Beef & Broccoli” he got me all up in arms about people who diss on the food he likes to eat… theres also the usual racism, killing cops, government control, world revolution, etc.

Track 2 is apocalyptic, track 6 has a cool flute groove with the lyrics half in Spanish, tack 7 has a siren, track 8 blows you away, and the whole album is full of FCC’s. SAFE HARBOR FUN!
