Earlier this month, Drake spoke about the possibility of releasing his upcoming debut album on his own, something that Immortal Technique has successfully accomplished without any major label assistance, not even with a major marketing budget.

Just last year Immortal Technique released his 3rd album,” The 3rd World,” which hit the Billboard charts in the first week and sold over 60k units. This was accomplished solely by his following since there was little to no marketing efforts and I found myself, his publicist, with barely any time to set up interviews for Immortal Technique due to his busy independent tour schedule.

Yet Immortal Technique has managed to not only have a success release, but even finance and construct an Orphanage/Medical center in Kabul, Afghanistan, as well as continue to tour across the globe with a European tour starting this week.
