Felipe Andres Coronel (born February 19, 1978), better known by his stage name Immortal Technique, is a Peruvian-American rapper, songwriter, and activist. His lyrics largely feature commentary on issues such as politics, religion, institutional racism, and government conspiracies.

Immortal Technique seeks to retain control over his production, and has stated in his music that record companies profit the most from music over the artists themselves. He claimed in 2009 to have sold close to a combined total of 200,000 copies of his first three official releases.
