Invincible is a gritty and dope female emcee hailing from Detroit. Not an easy place to be no matter who you are, and an even tougher place to really thrive.
She’s got a fast flow, and an eloquent delivery. Yet somehow she still sounds raw and unpolished. It’s a good match, and seems to convey a lot of her anger and concern.
I’m not entirely sure what message she’s trying to get out half the time, but a lot of what she raps about is the urban decay Detroit is facing. The crumbling schools, infrastructure, and the general lawlessness that seems to grow. It’s a sad and tragic place to be, a lot of the time, but the birthplace of Motown still has some hope left.
Check out Shapeshifters, probably my favourite track by her.
