| "A Soldier Never Dies"  Rapper Invinceable, R&B crooner Jon B (Babyface's "Someone to Love" / Tupac Shakur's "R U Still Down?") and super producer Battlecat (Snoop Dogg, The Game, Xzibit) pay tribute to the military and street soldiers alike in a video shoot for Invinceable's debut single release, "A Soldier Never Dies." The touching anthem is dedicated to the memory of Invinceable's cousin, Anthony Hector Vargas, a Marine who lost his life in the streets after returning home from battle in Iraq. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the single will benefit the Anthony Vargas Organization, a foundation being established by Vargas' mother, Henrietta Han. The foundation will work to send care packages to our troops.The two-day shoot, directed by Paolo Ongkeko and produced by Don Le was shot in Redlands and Mentone, CA in a house donated for use by Classic Heating and Air and a warehouse recreated to look like an actual Marine compound. The shoot included the construction of a war battle scene in Iraq and interior bunker shots at a camp. The artists are seen here on top of a roof at sunset.
