From participating in Occupy Wall Street protests to building an orphanage in Afghanistan, rapper Immortal Technique claims to be a voice for the voiceless. The Afro-Peruvian artist, born in Peru and raised in New York City, writes lyrics focusing on poverty, class issues, racism, and American foreign policy. Immortal Technique also refuses to sign with a major record label and made his latest album available as a free download.
