How About Some Music? :: Dubwise Santogold + Invincible The Sound Of Young Detroit

Out of the shed for a minute–where I’ve got things cooking at a good boil–to share some tasters.

Invincible :: Shape Shifters

After keeping it hot for Dilla, Sa-Ra, Platinum Pied Pipers, Slum Village, Black Milk and the cream of Detroit for years, Invincible finally gets her own shine. Quiet as it’s kept, she’s also one of the city’s most important young hip-hop activists–and you’ll hear that in her music–but her skills seal the deal.

Get her 3-song single here.

Santogold :: “Your Voice”

If you haven’t heard her yet, she’s worth the hype. I mean, this one’s free, so you can imagine how good the ones she’s charging you for.

Get her album here.
