The music kicks off with the goose bump-inducing title track.

The record opens with a brief spoken-word intro in which Tech reminds the listener: " It is your responsibility to burn this for every motherfucker you know." On The Martyr, Tech has compiled spare tracks from recent recording sessions into a surprisingly cohesive "bits and pieces" album. But don't expect to find any of Tech's tunes on American Bandstand anytime soon. His leftist politics bleed poetically over a brilliant mixture of indie hip-hop wit and top 40 bravado. In the world of hip-hop, Immortal Technique is king.
