In other news, California rapper Invinceable has released “A Soldier Never Dies” a song honoring his cousin Anthony Hector Vargas, a Marine who was killed in a street fight earlier this year.
“Hip hop music is our voice,” said Invinceable. “Rapping about money and women is cool, but I felt like I had to rap about what was on my heart and what was real to me. My cousin lives on. His spirit was in the studio with us while we were recording. He’s an angel in heaven now, and I’m just trying to be an angel for him here on earth. I want the world to know, a soldier never dies, never.”
“A Solider Never Dies” is produced by Battlecat and also features singer Jon B.
Vargas was killed back in March only weeks after returning from Iraq.
