Immortal Technique Channels J Dilla, Makes “A Toast to the Dead” (Listen & Download)

For those who aren't familiar, Immortal Technique is an emcee so revolutionary he makes Dead Prez look like Ray J. No matter what you think of the man's music you have to respect that level of integrity, and you have to respect anyone who's granted a beat by the legendary J. Dilla. This is a "Toast to the Dead".

That's right, none other than Ma Yancey gave her blessing for Immortal to go into the Dilla vault and grab the hypnotizing production currently banging through your headphones. From there throw in some well-timed cuts by DJ Green Lantern and Tech's always hardcore rhyme scheme and you've got the definition of a tribute. Damn, I'm feeling inspired. Might just have to go into the closet and bust out that Homeland Security t-shirt.

"Toast"is the first leak from Immortal Technique's upcoming free project "The Martyr," coming soon. And if you want to join the man's revolution in person, check him at a city near you.
