It's been 8 long years of this administration, and if one thing is clear, it is the amazing success they have had in their quest to drastically increase the separation between rich and poor. It can be seen clearly in rising prices, and even more clearly in our neighborhoods, which have quickly become shadows of what they once were in the face of development. It ain't a picnic, that's for sure.
Leave it to Full Clip favorite new artist Invincible to address the complex and ever important issue of gentrification, this time in her hometown of Detroit. Peep the whole video, especially for the last two minutes which includes interviews with local residents and politicians.
I will be dropping some new tracks from that album immediately when it hits on Friday.
