Immortal Technique
The Cause Of Death

Viper (US)

WE SAY

Warning: Adult content! Passionate, highly political, articulate, independent-minded... Immortal Technique is everything hip hop used to be, and that is one of many reasons why true hip hop fans are so excited by him. The Cause Of Death is a track that should be heard and considered at length. Buy the album from Amazon (we did) and read the sleeve note which is less confrontational than the lyric. This isn't just about the extraordinary lyric, it's also a great delivery and a great production that suggests the necessary skills to reach a mass audience.
