There’s something electrifying about the 6’2’’ rapper stomping around screaming a high energy set in the middle of the venue floor. He spent a few songs on stage but ended his set back in the crowd again where it seemed he felt at home. The Bronx rapper spent a few songs performing on the venue floor with fans before finally being helped on stage. The center of the venue opened up in pit fashion as Chino XL performed. Camera in hand, I pushed and clawed my way to Chino XL.
I yelled “ nevermind!” and jumped into the crowd. Luckily, I was still next to the stage trying to grab security’s attention to let me into the photo pit. In WWE fashion, venue spotlights located Chino XL as he moved through the crowd as aggressively as he rapped. As Poison Pen wrapped up his set, all eyes were on the stage entrance as the crowd eagerly awaited the arrival of Chino XL. The battle rap pioneer from Bed Stuy, Brooklyn put on a hard-hitting performance that set the tone for what would be a fulfilling night of lyrically hard hip hop. Poison Pen was the first of the three main acts to grace the stage. Let’s jump into the three main acts of night. I made my way over to The Glass House in Pomona for what would be an eventful night. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see him perform new music and relive some moments from Revolutionary Vol. The Middle Passage is the underground’s Detox. Immortal Technique's most recent Prelude To The Middle Passage Tour overtly advertises on the flyer. Over a decade later, there are increasing rumblings that the next album, The Middle Passage, is finally almost here.

While still touring and spottily releasing singles, Immortal Technique has since taken a step back from releasing full length projects… until now. Whether you were a fan of his or were one of those people who heard “Dance With The Devil” in its entirety just once, Immortal Technique definitely left a lasting impression on you in the 2000s. With a populist message, he took on the establishment in all forms – from the greedy record executives to the weapons lobbyists who walked the halls of Washington DC. His last album to date, The Third World (2008), was set to release about a month after. He’d been buzzing hard in the independent rap circuits after dropping Revolutionary Vol.
It was arguably the best time to see Immortal Technique as he was at the top of his career. The first time I saw Immortal Techniquewas in 2008 at the Jazz Reggae Festival at UCLA.
