Uptown Notes

No, you won’t see this on BET, you won’t see this on CNN, you won’t see this… pretty much anywhere but you’re computer. But this is why I still love Hip-Hop. This is why I still have hope, this is why I know that Detroit is in good hands. Check this video beneath of Invincible, Finale, and a host of Detroit activists dropping science on the D.

True I’m no longer BlackatMichigan but lord knows the Mitten always has a place in my heart. And make sure to cop Invincible’s full length album, she’s a beast!!!!!!! And because I know most of ya’ll won’t click the link, you better recognize she’s even co-signed by Jean Grae. Don’t take my word for it, take hers,

Invincible is a problem, always has been. Wonderfully humble, a humanitarian, an amazing and caring person just in general. All that and she’ll rip your mic to shreds and then set it on fire. I don’t even think she fully understands how dope she is. She’s a true lyricist. She’s been here for a long time going extra hard at this, no new jack here at all. She has an amazing fighter’s spirit… Cause let’s all be real about how the world perceives her based on appearance alone is a ridiculously large cross to bear. That woman is a beast and I have no idea how she manages to keep getting better with her art while saving the entire world. People complain about not having any role models or rappers not taking responsibility for their communities…well then respect this woman right here and give her her credit for her fight and everything she’s accomplished thus far.
