Immortal Technique Interview

We came across this recent interview with Immortal Technique over at BallerStatus.com and wanted to share. Immortal Technique is precisely the kind of New York area artist we want to focus on at BirthplaceMag.com, underground… lyrical… saying something. The good folks at BallerStatus just dropped a great interview with Immortal Technique, covering his path through hip hop, thoughts on some of his subject matter, and reflections on his trips to other parts of the world.

As they put it:

Hopefully what defines this moment in time of hip-hop — this time of economic struggle — will be those who stood for and spoke for something better. That instead of rhyming about pimping our women, dealing drugs and selling our souls, a handful of artists were rhyming for jobs, ripping it for universal health care, and laying it on the line to end urban poverty. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll realize that at least a few of us gave a f***. And for those of that that still do, Immortal Technique is our voice.

We’re cool with that. Check out the full Immortal Technique interview here.
