The music artist that has given me the most important and positive effect in my life is truly Felipe Coronel also called Immortal Technique when he released his first hip-hop album called Revolutionary Volume 1. This album was so against the “system” that it totally caught my attention, no mainstream lyrics about how the rich rappers spend their money, no new school hip-hop with all those chains and cars, this album was about socio-political issues and that’s why I find the album and artist so special. Nowadays it’s hard to find hip-hop with a meaning. This album was and is a great example of what people call “Underground hip-hop”. This kind of hip-hop has grown; by saying “this kind of hip-hop” I mean hip-hop with lyrics that is about socio-political issues. Immortal Technique is still one of my favourite artists, and I still keep getting inspired by his lyrics for every day that passes by, even more because he released his second album called Revolutionary Volume 2. Soon he will be realising his third album called The Middle Passage. Will this music still be important to me in ten or twenty years? Of course it will, it will be a part of my young life.
