From Mariachi Magic to Unfiltered Realities: Invinceable's So Loaded Saga Continues
In the vibrant tapestry of hip-hop, where genres converge and new soundscapes are born, Invinceable stands as a trailblazer, seamlessly blending Latin roots with the rhythmic beats of hip-hop. The latest testament to his musical prowess comes in the form of the music video "So Loaded." In this fiesta of cultural fusion, Invinceable, alongside a diverse cast, merges the vibrant notes of Mariachi music with the unmistakable beats of hip-hop, crafting a sonic cocktail that transcends traditional boundaries.
"So Loaded" isn't merely a song; it's an intoxicating celebration of Patron tequila, a joyful collision of Black and Brown rappers, beautiful Latinas, low riders, and a Mariachi band. Behind the scenes, the legendary rap music producer DJ BattleCat adds his touch, infusing the track with 100-proof production juices. Directed by Michael R. Santana, with aerial cinematography by James Hill, the music video unfolds on the lively streets of downtown Los Angeles, including the iconic Olvera Street. The collaboration with DJ BattleCat traces back to a decade ago when they worked together on Invinceable's first single, "A Soldier Never Dies," a touching tribute dedicated to his cousin, a Marine who lost his life after returning from Iraq.
"It evolved into a wonderful collaboration that I’m really proud of and excited about! Banda and Mariachi are styles of regional Mexican music that you don’t readily equate with hip-hop, so the filming of the video and producing of the song has taken us on quite an adventure!" reflects Invinceable.
DJ BattleCat, known for producing Snoop Dogg, The Game, and Xzibit, emphasizes the beauty of blending cultures. With the addition of Roman's vocal skills to the song's hook, "So Loaded" becomes a fire that surpasses expectations.
