Few MCs straddle the line between artist and activist the way 27-year-old rapper Invincible does. The Detroit-based lyricist fuses hip-hop with social change as a way of life, not as a gimmick, and it's a big part of why watching her perform live is so moving. She gets praise galore within much of hip-hop's inner circle, and Talib Kweli calls her one of the best MCs he's ever heard, male or female. Invincible's wordplay really is that good, but more importantly, there's substance behind it. She's in town in support of her debut album, ShapeShifters, due for release later this month on her own imprint, Emergence. If you're hungry for true-school hip-hop with world appeal, this show isn't to be missed.
