I’ve only started to deconstruct my trip, a week and a half ago, to the Detroit, to the Allied Media Conference. My girl BeanQueen hooked me up with a CD by an amazing local emcee, Invincible that I just got a chance to listen to. Invincible’s CD, Shapeshifters, is her first full length cd featuring 13 tracks, plus a bonus and a video/documentary. If you miss hip hop’s roots as a voice for social change and a reflection of what is really going down in our communities, Invincible is the answer. And don’t think that music with a message loses it’s edge. Shapeshifters is some damn good music with some damn good beats and Invincible tiene mucho flow.
Check it out:

Invincible, who turned down major offers from major record labels to start her own label and stay independent, captures the struggle between the forces at work in Detroit. Shapeshifters represents the work of young people and activists fighting for the very survival of their home while the powers that be divest in the city, leaving building after building abandoned and boarded up with street art reading, It Don’t Exist. Or do it?

Invincible and Shapeshifters energized me and captured the love and power of community I felt while in Detroit. It is music for change.
