The man himself comes to the UK next week - make it your mission to reach that show. I'll be coming back from the big ol' US of A that day, but I will be there. I've never seen him live but I swear this will be the best £12.50 you've spent since that last KFC family bucket. I featured Tech in the iD 250 issue last December and have enjoyed a couple of email's since - the man is reeeel. R.E.E.L I'd print his retort to my request for a quote on the 50/ Game beef but not sure it was meant for public consumption. Try and get hold of the Bin Laden remix or go get both of his albums - 'Revolution ' and '2' - from Tech's site http://www.viperrecords.com

Dates are: Oxford, Atlantic Bar on June 18th £10 (with Lowkey, Yungun, DJ Snips and Akir and
London: June 19th at Carling Academy, Islington (with Klash & Terra Firma, Lowkey, Snips and Akir)


I guess to America I'm a disaster
A slave that was destined to own his masters
Independent in every single sense of the word
I say what I want, you fuckin little sensitive herb
This is America, I thought we had freedom of speech
But now you want try to control the way that I speak
And O'Reilly you think that you a patriot?
You ain't nothing but a motherfuckin racist bitch
Fulla hatred, pressin a button trying to inject me
But I ain't got no motherfuckin deal with Pepsi
No corporate sponsor telling me what to do
Asking me to tone it down during the interview
Tryin' to minimize the issue, but I'm keeping it large
I love the place that I live, but I hate the people in charge
Speakin is hard when you got strings attached
So I'm a say it for you 'cause I ain't got none o' that
And if you didn't understand what I spit at your brain
Aiyyo son, let this little nigga explan
(Immortal Technique, Freedom of Speech)
