Invincible, Producer and Performer

Invincible’s spitfire wordplay has gotten her acclaim from Hip Hop fans all across the world, while her active involvement in community organizing through Detroit Summer‘s Live Arts Media Project, U.S.-Palestine Youth Solidarity Network, has taken her music beyond entertainment and towards actualizing the change she wishes to see.

Representing Detroit, Michigan, many are already familiar with her work with Waajeed and the Platinum Pied Pipers, Finale, the all-female ANOMOLIES crew, Black Star, and many others. Dubbed by XXL Magazine as “every A&Rs worst nightmare” for rejecting major label deals and general industry “politrix,” Invincible started her own record label, EMERGENCE, self-releasing her long-awaited album ShapeShifters which includes the docu-music-video Locusts.
