Tackling topics from America's complicity in the drug trade ("Peruvian Cocaine") to the cycles of inner-city poverty ("Harlem Streets") to the global military complex ("The 4th Branch"), Immortal Technique unabashedly radiates his radicalism in a time of apathy. There's a thin line between passion and didacticism, and, at times, he forces rhymes that sacrifice style in service of content, but most of the time his delivery is as razor sharp as his politics. The beats are mostly understated and minimalist, armed with just enough punch to accent the rhymes. "You Never Know" drifts sweetly on jazz-guitar strums while "Crossing the Boundary" snaps with a hard, funk edge. Clearly though, Immortal Technique is the strongest sonic force on the album, a claxon alarm that shatters the complacent silence. --Oliver Wang Disc 1: Revolutionary (Intro) - Immortal Technique, Mumia Abu-Jamal Point of Now Return Peruvian Cocaine - C-Rayz Walz, , Diabolic, Immortal Technique, Loucipher, Poison Pen, Pumpkinhead, Tonedeff Harlem Streets - Immortal Technique, Roc Raida Obnoxious Message & The Money Industrial Revolution - Immortal Technique, Roc Raida Crossing the Boundary Sierra Maestra 4th Branch Internally Bleeding Homeland and Hip Hop - Immortal Technique, Mumia Abu-Jamal Cause of Death Freedom of Speech Leaving the Past Truth's Razors You Never Know - Jean Grae, Immortal Technique One [Remix] - Akir, Immortal Technique Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours
