Born in Lima, Peru before moving to the cultural melting pot of Harlem at a young age, Felipe Coronel found himself repeatedly getting in trouble with the law for what he now describes as childish behavior. He studied Political Science for two semesters however, due to his patchy history with the law, struggled to find employment.
During his time in prison, Felipe began to develop his rapping and, having been left with little choice, turned to his Mcing talents as a source of income. He sold his music on the streets of New York whilst participating in various freestyle and battle rap events. The money from this went on to fund Immortal Technique’s debut album ‘Revolutionary Vol. 1’ which went on to sell 45000 copies without any label or distribution support.
From there his profile began to grow with an appearance on ‘106 & Park’s’ Freestyle Friday and a feature in The Source magazine’s independent column ‘Unsigned Hype’ (known for helping to break artists like Eminem over the years). He followed this up with the release of albums ‘Revolutionary vol. 2’ and ‘The 3rd World’ both of which were released on ‘Viper Records’, a small independent label which Immortal Tech has now taken control of.
Touring and video game appearances have helped to build up the rapper’s profile outside of New York and he is now an internationally renowned artist with his songs receiving millions of streams of services like Spotify.

Immortal Technique last night was absolutely mind blowing! Hands down the best concert I have ever been to. The DJs were fantastic (DJ Snuff and DJ Static) - great energy and great tunes. The support acts were fantastic - best support acts I have seen. I have to say, I hadn't heard of Constant Flow or Hasan Salaam prior to the show, but I will definitely be looking out for both of them now. I bought CF's CD straight from him at the show, and got a picture with him! And I will be looking for both of their new albums when they're out later this year. They both had incredible energy and were great lyricalists. Technique was AMAZING! He had such a rapport with the crowd and came across as such a genuine, nice guy. It felt like a really intimate concert, much different to paying 5x the price to see Eminem at Wembley, for example. It felt like he really loved being there and he put 110% into the performance (despite sweltering heat - I don't think I'd be going back to the venue (The Garage) anytime soon...) His energy was insane and he had some interesting things to talk about. His performance was great, fantastic selection of songs, with of course a full performance of Dance with the Devil. It felt very "go with the flow" rather than many of the staged, rehearsed performances you usually see these days - many times Technique asked the DJ or the crowd what song he should do next, and he seemed ready and able to perform anything requested. Technique met fans queuing before the concert started and did autographs etc, and then he stayed at the end until every last fan had shook his hand and got his autograph. What a night! Will always remember it! Immortal Technique is a fantastic performer and I will definitely see him again next time he's in London.

Felipe Andres Coronel better known by the stage name Immortal Technique, is an American rapper often described as giving everything to his live show and his devoted fan base. An intelligent artist, his works often hit on topics of socialism, poverty, religion and government so it is pretty hard for his crowds to keep up with his rapping speed and complexity, this does not stop them trying.
Felipe seems to really appreciate this as he cheers them along and tells them to sing as loud as possible during early single 'The Point Of No Return'. His whole setlist is quite controversial and politically charged as he performs the likes of 'Rich Man's World (1%)', a poignant track detailing the democratic corruption in America. During these tracks the audience simply watch on as Coronel delivers these scathing songs with such passion and aggression.
He thanks the crowd for allowing him to air his views and they cheer on as he makes speeches about current issues. It is unusual for a rap concert to make you think about the state of the world, yet by the fading notes of 'Caught In A Hustle' the audience leave in a state of confusion and gratitude.

Immortal Technique is the genuine article. His perspective is well thought-through and sincere. His stage presence is positive, provocative, and inspirational. Would go to an Immortal Technique show any day or night, anywhere in the world... but more importantly, I'd stand beside him when all the chips fall out there in the world; and I'd trust him to have my back. He shows mad respect to Women, all races, and has a true cultural foundation; this guy could actually carry out most of what he demands of so-called leaders in the world. It's obvious.

It was a really good show. Its started on time ..8:30 on the dot. Nice crowd..CF and Chino XL really set the tone for the night. This was my first Technique or Talib show ever and it was a great expirence.. Bucket list shit..The equipment was a bit off but that's the venue and a josh pit broke out which I thought was funny. Talib was cool enough to do a encore for the crowd. One of the best tours this summer.

Amazing and fun show, Immortal Technique is a pehnomenalnlive performer and he genuinely loves interacting with the fans. The other acts were also very fun to watch and gave it their all and everyone seemed to enjoy the show and have a great time.

Had a great time, Chino XL, Poison Pen, and Immortal Technique are legends of rap. The show was full of positive energy. Thanks to song kick for keeping me informed regarding events.

Tech is great live. You can see the passion he has for just causes. Wasn't a super long set but glad I went. I didn't stay for much of Cypress Hill.
