Detroit Artist Invincible Returns to Austin & Gears up for Southern Shift SXSW Panel & People's Party

Detroit Rapper Invincible rips some dope verses from her song 'Emperor's Clothes'. It deals with the plight of Palestinians and the border wall Israel is building there. When Invincible touched down at a recent show in Austin she connects their struggle with the 'border wars' and 'border wall' being built in Texas. She also lets us know why there is a need for reperations for Africans in America who have suffered through slavery and Jim Crow oppression. Invincible will be a panelist on the Southern Shift 2010 SXSW panel called 'How to Grind, Hustle and Make It During the Recession...1161 Angelina Street, Austin, TX 78722 (512) 974-1010.

Below is the official video to the song Emperor's Clothes along w/ Invincible's write up of the reason for the song...

January 2009, Israel launched an assault on the Gaza Strip, causing massive damage to civilian infrastructure, killing more than 1,300 Palestinians and wounding 5,300. Israel has held Gaza under siege, controlling the borders, air and water space, preventing even the most basic humanitarian goods from entering. The Emperors Clothes is a call to action. One of the most effective strategies we can pursue right now is boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaigns (http://bdsmovement.net/) against Israel, as we demand an end to Israel's 60-plus years of occupation and war on Palestinian life.

Lastly, in addition to the Friday afternoon Southern Shift panel we will be joining Invincible along with a artists for a Saturday afternoon, People's Party at Monkey Wrench Books...
