Hip Hop MC and political activist Felipe Coronel, better known as Hip Hop MC Immortal Technique is on schedule for a June 24th release of his latest album The 3rd World, a collaborative album with DJ Green Lantern.

The Harlem born hip hop MC's newest album will be made available on iTunes, Amazon.com and distributed worldwide through Viper Records/Koch Entertainment. MySpace has hand-selected Immortal Technique and The 3rd World for its exclusive homepage Featured Artist bit along with an album preview starting this weekend.

The album flows seamlessly, like a mixtape, through 16-tracks where the hip hop MC Immortal Technique advocates his intense revolutionary ideals matched by his fiery lyricism and flow. With the addition of 3 bonus tracks, the album bolsters guest appearances from fellow hip hop and rap notables Pharoahe Monch, Chino XL, Crooked I, Ras Kass, AKIR, Diabolic, and more, with equally heavy production cameos from Green Lantern, Buckwild, Southpaw and Scram Jones. Also, iTunes is making a premier offer: One additional track of the album in mixtape form (all songs blended in one) with the purchase of the full album.

"The 3rd World is not just a literal document of what life is like in nations such as Peru, Cuba, and El Salvador, it also makes a statement about people reclaiming their natural resources, whether it's South America farmers or indie hip-hop artist." – XLR8R Magazine

The world has been eagerly buzzing about the album since its first announcement several months ago, landing posts on hundreds of blogs, webzines, and print publications alike. Technique can be found on the newest issue of XLR8R Magazine and upcoming issues for URB, XXL, The Source, Yellow Rat Bastard, and Spain's Hip Hop Nation, just to name a few. He is also preparing for his album release party at Highline Ballroom in New York City (scheduled for June 24th) before stepping back on the road for his national tour, which includes his Rock The Bells Tour schedule.

Outside of the realm of music, Immortal Technique remains active with international political organizations and continues with community efforts, recently unveiling a writing contest available for high school students across the country. The contest, which could be found on his MySpace blog, calls on students to express their views and experiences on the United States' relations to third world countries. Submissions will be accepted until July 8th, where, thereafter, Immortal Technique himself will select the top three essays and award $3000 in prizes.  

About Immortal Technique:

Immortal Technique has been touring the world after his previous release Revolutionary Vol. 2, including the Rock the Bells Tour for the past 3 years. This has kept him quite busy with the anticipation of his next release growing steadily by the day. Finally Immortal Technique and DJ Green Lantern (DJ for Jay Z & Sirius Satellite) complete their vision of colliding their worlds into one full-length album, The 3rd World. The mix of street Hip Hop with the vivid landscapes of global struggle shows that world politics and music politics are almost one in the same. While still a full-length album, DJ Green Lantern blends and mixes it from start to finish, with about a 1/3 of the production to his name. Expect to hear Immortal Technique's striking lyrics on an even more street influenced production that occasionally fortifies him to show his bi-lingual versatility on the mic.

Despite his good beats and lyrics, some of it is into the "gangster" mentality of shoot this, or kill that at least Rev. Vol. II has that aspect in some songs.  I much prefer Soul and Sacrifices mature use of spreading a message, but maybe that level of straight talk is too clean for some in the "rap" or "hip-hop" world.  I used to be a big fan of that music, the pop rap of Dre and Eminem, but mostly liked the underground stuff.  People like Ja Rule and Jay Z and their music were not good by my standards of music, it was lame... lol.  Oh and Wu-Tang was one I liked, but again their lyrics is the typical "gangster" mentality, but not always.  The problem is they mix in the message with the retarded, drugs, money, women-hoes, murder shit, and that sucks because it's all useless bullshit that takes away from any meaningful message.

* I am a Muslim like Immortal Technique *

I have to confess something, I'm 33 years old and I feel ashamed at times to listen to rap, that's why I usually listen to it with headphones when I'm out. IT is completely a non-commercial artist and real-life activist. The only other "rapper" that comes close to disclosing the secret societies and conspiracies that rule the world is of course Paris (also a Muslim). I concur with your opinions concerning others in this field, though I get sick pleasure to listen them (just as I do when I listen to GS and EJP!).

P.S.
One of the reasons that I've become an Internet activist is to relearn English. I've spent years speaking only Swedish and Farsi and have it hard to use words with more than 3 syllables. I hope that my posts show the improvement that I've made :) .

aZixx *Typical Gangster Mentality*?...   Simply put,there is a BIG difference between simply speaking ABOUT a reality,VS. actually "glorifying" it...It is just up to the LISTENER to figure out the difference,rather than always having to be told by the artist outright...As it is art,there are many sides of the coin right?...And so a song with the grittyest lyrics,could be aimed towards NOTHING but peace,while a song with what "seems" like "harmless language/fun" could be way more deadly when followed by each and every person not thinking for them selves ;-)...Not to mention a story could be told in 1st person 2nd person,3rd person,or completely observational ;-)...I think that is where SOOO many people "went wrong" with Marilyn Manson lyrics as well...
