Invincible - Back Alley Social, SXSW, Austin TX - March 21, 2009


[from Detroit MI] I was very disturbed by this show – it was a white female in a boy haircut, baseball cap and baggy clothes … the point is, of the few showcases that highlighted genuine rap, all the SXSW officials could come up with was some little white girl????... reeks of racism to me – not to downplay her – she could flow, as they say, and had intricate lyrics – far more political than the act before her – similar hardcore but minimalist style - but in reality, her voice was pretty weak – she also had a lot of technical difficulties with her CD/DJ which probably wasn’t her fault – I enjoyed her more when she was joined by a black guy with a resounding voice - was really at this showcase to see Pigeon John but they were running late and I had places to be : ( [Photo courtesy of https://www.discogs.com/artist/80687-Invincible-2]
