Veteran underground rapper, Immortal Technique, is gearing up for the release of a collaborative album with DJ Green Lantern titled The 3rd World this week.
The new album is being released through his own Viper Records and will also be made available through iTunes (the iTunes releases includes one exclusive track) and Amazon.com.
It is a 16-track effort which the rapper says "flows seamlessly, like a mixtape." Additionally, it includes three bonus tracks, as well as guest appearances from Pharoahe Monch, Chino XL, Crooked I, Ras Kass, AKIR, and Diabolic, while production cameos include Green Lantern, Buckwild, Southpaw and Scram Jones.
In support of The 3rd World, Immortal Technique will be stepping back on the road for a national tour, which includes his Rock The Bells Tour schedule.
Outside of the realm of music, the rapper remains active with international political organizations and continues with community efforts, recently unveiling a writing contest available for high school students across the country.
Via the contest, students are encouraged to express their views and experiences on the United States relations to third world countries in an essay. The winning essay, handpicked by Immortal Technique, will be awarded $1,500.
The 3rd World is slated for release June 24.
