Since debuting on the scene in 2008, Sa-Roc has continually proven to be a force to reckoned with and respected amongst her peers. In many ways, the music video for “Eye of the Phoenix” is a metaphor for the approach to her craft. The video, starts off in an unassuming environment, surrounded by the beauty of nature, leaving those who are unfamiliar not knowing what to expect. But, once Sa-Roc starts to rhyme, she immediately becomes the center of attention, displaying mastery levels of wordplay, flow, and confidence. Gensu Dean, a longtime master of Boom-Bap grimy beats, supplies the musical foundation, courtesy his trusty MPC 3000, which proves to be a perfect combination for Sa-Roc’s microphone dominance.

“Eye of the Phoenix” is the first single from Sa-Roc’s brand new mixtape, “Metamorpheus", which is available for  free now http://bit.ly/MetaMorpheus. Whether you are already a Sa-Roc fan or unfamiliar with her work, “Metamorpheus” is true testament to her skill, as well as her growth as an artist. 

Although “Metamorpheus” makes a strong statement on its own, it’s only a taste of what’s to come from Sa-Roc’s upcoming official album release on Rhymesayers Entertainment. Stay tuned and connected:

#Metamorpheus 

LYRICS: 
Enter the- 5 foot shawty from the barrio. Longest running hero in the game super Mario. Every 2 sets of 8 bars from Sa-Roc got em sprinting to the studio, it's time to get this cardio. I'm synonymous with iconic- it's just a part of being rap Pharoah, building pyramids and obelisks. Armored letters spew from out the bottom of my consciousness, turning rap stars to old hacks-that's anonymous. U don't get it? Check your Twitter feed or your literacy. Diamonds out this African mind enrich u lyrically. Every line formed from the pressure to be the greatest, now I'm spitting out jewels that's semi precious Gabby Sidibe. Hope I could change the face of hiphop in my lifetime, or I'll be forced to sever several Mcs lifelines. Cuz I developed into veteran organically,and y'all eating up all this GMO rap-the vanilla ice kind. They told me I would bring em back to life-soul II soul. Showed up and had the fans attracted like opposing poles. Roc cook up all this dope shit in the lab, then watch the freshest cats expire after the first hit, overdose. Prolific with my verbal illustration, basquiat. Bars like a beautiful prayer- Al Fatiha. I'm a Washington D.C. Marvel in Atlantis, and em both together made me supernatural. Pretty lil Loch Ness Monster, appeared from out of nowhere in a cloud of nag champa. Launching atoms out the gates of my esophagus. Forming universes out the base of my superior subconscious Mind. I'm inclined to be reborn like the Pheonix is, when every track I blaze invades your double helixes. Imbed the label on your genes like a brand name, now everybody know Sa-Roc the standard of what a genius is.

Lyrics: 
First Verse
Came out the gully with Fulanis and a scully on. I used to run tough with the gods and some hellions. Never crossed the family on the word of a civilian. That's why they call me Dedan(the Don) like Mau Mau rebellions. Voice honey coated, lil bit of gravel in it. For them classic rhymes with a lil bit of savage in em. I ain't new to this profession, I'm established in it. Any challenge to the status quo would be a cataclysm. Cuz I'm Assata with the good hair-9 ether. I have em pissing lemonade when I arrive eager. My mediocre is Lee Iacocca, I CEO shit. 'Fore I come up out the A class like a ivy leaguer. Pineal on a 100 like I'm Benjamin. I am 1/2 Outcast, 5/10s granite. Fully liable to crush an mc mid sentence. Crystals crusted on my wrist with the tint salmon. Queen ting. 

Second verse:
Every time I come through, 10 maroons-PULL UP!!
Watch the dj, when mi chune done he soon-PULL UP!!
Cuz I'm a rockwilder, child of mean streets and crack houses. Now I break bread in Lagos with some sharp Hausas. This for Alton, Sandra Bland, my man Malcolm. Tried to bury us, but they forgot we stay sprouting. Pedigree is incredibly star studded. That's why u probably find me bathing in tubs that's claw footed. Forget the profit, here to be the next prophet. Writing scriptures in a villa that's Moroccan carpeted. I floss imported ensembles of brocade. From villages hard to pronounce, harder to locate. Only associate with Rebels and comrades, cuz society frightened by my melanin contrast. Still rappers sell their soul for a helluva contract. Roc don't ever compromise but she will settle for combat. Queen ting.

Lyrics: 
I'm black magic, 5 foot something, the rap maverick. Y'all want me to dumb it down, well my shit too elaborate. Alphabetic acrobatics on every apparatus. Step onto my train of thought and get lost in my labyrinth. I am not a Barbie I'm a barbarian. Dismember bodies of work vocally then I bury em. Prey for my opponents for they know not what they getting into. It's too many snakes and froggy types in my terrarium. Lyrically I'm Kali Ma, goddess of these arias, nowadays emcees can't walk a mile inside my Adidas, blood. I will cripple every rhyme that u exhale from out your diaphragm then diagram the steps to your retirement. I'm Tigress, I earned every stripe that you admiring. never been a star, I am more inclined to be Orion and I'm liable to ionize your entire environment. And that means everybody charged up when I'm reciting. These 16s like WMDs, i'm public enemy to these Republican bastards, asking for passwords to my ribonucleic acids, asterisk: that means my genetic code for anybody asking. Ass pics not in my repertoire, never taken a shot my integrity Kevlar. I am just here to test your celebrity caliber, my pedigree Elohim and you elementary bruh. I mean, They should've told you that I'm the rapper to beat, I'm the monster inside of the shadows when you asleep, I'm the wolf after cattle and you remind me of sheep, you honestly aint on par with the bars that I might excrete. Cuz I am dark matter, art packaged inside of flesh. These triple carbons got me blacking out on every record. I'm picking apart every verb and pronoun that you eject, cuz these rappers borrowed my whole style and I'm here to collect. You gon pay me, I'm the queen of God hop. Sway told me to bust a a Capella, told em why not? Homie if I get hold of the mic I might just wild out. And I ain't letting a 85er get a fucking vowel out. You can call me Mau Mau, rebel in my DNA. I'm trying to make royalty, they reveling in T & A. I'll be down in Tijuana levitating either way. Just give me a minute for my melanin to incubate. Got damn. I'm deep space, black hole in my cerebell. Flow extraterrestrial, I told em I'd never tell. Gave birth to the 7 wonders, ovaries never failed, got the book of life completely encoded in every cell. Oh, Om mani padme hum, that's the mantra. Spit and get this heat all in your marrow like a cancer. Ciphers full of fresh meat trying to impress me and I'm just waiting with a crew of black Sicilians yelling Mangia! This is not the end of me! I'm gon rule the industry. I'm going after every top ten rapper with intent to eat. With no less than thousand degree quality intensity. You ain't built to last the full magnitude or extent of me. If Thought, Monche, Stacks and Roc, ain't in your top fiiiiive, I'mma chop your reputation til it's lopsided. Leave that joint cold and stiff like its arthritis. lost tribe of the last scribes-I'm Thoth hybrid. This art of rap from out the vault of humanity's finest.

Watch “I Come In Peace” NOW!: http://bit.ly/SaRocPeace

Belying it's innocuous title, Sa-Roc's delivery on "I Come in Peace" reads like a direct threat to anyone in question of her rhyme skills. This week she takes us on a lyrical joyride, weaving in between metaphysical references and clever punch lines that result in a dizzying display of vocal dexterity. Word of advice? Buckle up. The queen doesn't seem to be easing up on her reign anytime soon.


Produced By: Sol Messiah
 
Lyrics: 
I don't even know where to start, probably cuz I'm playing such a huge part in terminating rap professionals.
One aggressive stanza from Roc, have em somberly sauntering out the studio en masse-rap processional.
The lyrical Messiah from the district of Columbiana, where fast talkers prey upon the meek with that arm and hammer.
I'm giving you a peek of your future, this is sonogrammar, annihilating any opposition with this sonic ammo.
It's a gamble going up against the illest flow.
But I'm widely known for how hard my PENicillin go.
Extraterrestrial from out the inner city, they resent me cuz of how my antenna innocently glow.
My braggadocious magnum opus got em wide open.
Them visionary bars keep that 3rd eye focused.
I'm tryna spark a revolution with these fire vocals, these IG celebrities too busy being antisocial.
But I'm the people's champ, Ali every release i ever tamper with and trample any foes that get into my way.
Rumble anybody in the concrete jungle, have the entire underground chanting Sa-Roc Bomaye.
I'm illuminating every verb and noun in my vocabulary, have em starting rumors trying to ruin my day.
But I still throw up pyramids with every lyric spit, so paparazzi keeping watch in every room I lay.
Honey skinned diamond out the roughest part of the terrain.
The last standing heir apparent of the Moorish reign.
Pressure got me snapping on the drum patterns, claiming every block within earshot into the Lord's domain.
I done had family back stab me til my blood run.
And old friends that held me down when I ain't had nothing.
Now strangers tryna sell me follows and adds like mad men.
Cuz I'm on W mag covers modeling fads in fashion.
I'm a rhyme assassin, call me sharp shooter.
Got the locs Bantu knotted up just like a black Buddha, while they chasing after bread, cream, guap, Gouda.
I'm stacking silver chips and every type of gold bouillon.
Once a honor roll student of the craft now I'm giving demonstrations on the basics in the lab.
If you ain't taking notes I'm assuming you up for grabs, and I'll bust and leave your rap career in stasis on a Petrie glass.
Never been no play play, rarely catch me smiling in a picture.
I be working hard to turn these spiritual lines to scriptures. 
Every one of my verses guaranteed to make you ponder like, How she wander into the game and make her nom de plume a music fixture?

"I Am Her”

Watch Video Here: https://youtu.be/F7LyeM8ZPpA

When writing "I am Her", I intended for it to be an anthem of sorts. For women like me, worlds away from me, or somewhere in the middle, who have ever felt afraid of being too bold, outspoken, or opinionated. Women who have ever softened their tone, minced their words, or adapted appearances to become more palatable for the dominant culture. I wrote it to champion empowerment and equality. I wrote this for us. As a woman within the hiphop genre, my journey has often been hindered by expectations to speak to or play out a narrative constructed by male opinion. Through my experience, I have had to learn how to find my voice and firmly assert my own definition of womanhood through music. I want the same for my sisters. In whatever capacity they choose. For future generations of young women who may not be familiar with Maya Angelou, but hear notes of her courage through my melodies. For women who feel the spirit of resistance from the Gulabi gang to NOW. I wrote this for a new future, one of women and girls who boldly take up space, reimagine possibilities, and claim what they deserve. I AM HER.

Sa-Roc

Lyrics:
You won't ever see us back away.
Til we make the world see that we ain't come to play.
This is so lil girls dream bigger than they sposed to.
And we get a fair share of pie on the plate.
I am her.

Pardon this interruption of your daily status quo.
We're here to disrupt the arrangement of your Daddy's show.
This double extraordinary enigmatic flow is brought to u by Audre, and Bell and Maya Angelou.
Hand em over.
We need the titles, receipts, the empire replete with the power to speak.
And no, this is not a request.
Hundreds of years of forced silence got a lot on my chest.
And we don't need your approval on our style of address.
Or style of the dress, I'll rock a head wrap and bulletproof vest.
And start my lyrical sermon with this Mother you guessed it.
Just so we're clear on who governs reproductive requests.
It's not up to anyone's opinion on how I protect it.
I'm part of collectives from Mali to Mecca getting bigger.
And our premiere gon be major no longer hidden figures.
We out to level the playing field for them young queens.
Coming for that wage gap til we recoup them Hidden figures.
In '97 million women marched and I was wit it.
In 2017 the same the establishment livid.
If this a man's world we came here to grab the equivalent.
And watch the future reimagined by the hand of the feminine. 

You won't ever see us back away. 
Til we make the world see that we ain't come to play.
This is so lil girls dream bigger than they sposed to.
And we get a fair share of pie on the plate.
I am her.

Step Into The Light (Tour Mix)

Sa-Roc - Step Into The Light (Mixed By Sol Messiah)

The musical journey of Sincerely Collins has always been rooted in the art of pure hip-hop and soul music. When it came to musical taste and knowledge, Collins was most influenced by his Grandparents and their oldies classics, that is until his uncle introduced him to the art of rap and the culture of hip hop at the age of 13 years old. Although "Sincerely II" is Collins 4th rap project, any loyal listener knows that the creativity put into his craft, as well as his fearless fusion of many musical textures, can hardly be filtered into a category of any kind. However, in this offering from Collins and his imprint, Better Different Visionary Group, it is immediately understood and made clear that hip-hop and rap is absolutely, without a doubt, the lane that Collins decided to drive in and STAY in for the entirety of the 7 song album. Sincerely Collins longtime friend and fellow Arizona heavyweight Bootleg Kev is featured on the tracks "Martin Talks Intro", "Bronx Tail" and "Holy Moly, Holy Grail", lending his voice as host and hype-man for the project. The presence that Bootleg Kev and his shameless & boastful commentary offer over the hard hitting, information packed raps that Collins slews offer a seemingly impossible balancing act of juxtaposition against the soul sampling sound beds provided entirely by Collins long time co-producer, Qux, as well as the visual interpretation depicted in the elegant and metaphorical album artwork. Sincerely II, as some could have guessed, is a sequel to the very first project introduced under the "Sincerely" stage name, which was also the beginning of the working relationship between Collins and Kev. Collins has mentioned that his sole purpose for the content on Sincerely II is to quite literally dismiss any questions as to whether or not he is a lyricist who's craft solidifies him as the top runner "Bar for Bar" in his hometown of Phoenix, as well as poke at the now standing heavyweights for a chance at the crown.
