One of the most prolific rappers walking the planet today. Michigan native Invincible has BARS. Peep what she has to say about her new song Emperors Clothes:
"So I wrote lyrics to K-Salaam and Beatnick’s beat that exposes the similarity between the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the Native American genocide, and the connection between the struggle for justice in Palestine and the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. Since writing the song, I’ve learned about even more connections–that the Israeli military has trained U.S. police forces such as the Atlanta Police Department and the Border Patrol. By boycotting Israel, we are also boycotting repressive police tactics in our cities and on our borders."
Real hip hop is back where it belongs. Peep the video, and learn more about Invincible here.

This is 2008 campaigning, I want your vote Barack Obama right here. if this speech doesn't make you feel something you're definitely not fresh.
