Sa-Roc - The Who? (feat. David Banner)

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.

Watch “WWII (Word War II)” NOW!: http://bit.ly/SAROCWWII

Sa-Roc returns with WWII (Word War II), the second installment of her Wisdom Wednesdays series. Continuing the lyrical onslaught of last week’s Queen Ting, Sa-Roc murderously rips through this two minute Sol Messiah produced banger.
 
Lyrics: 
I could be the last of the classical acts in modern times. I'm the Nina Simone of rappers; got a bag of black magic stashed in a rather elaborate package taped to the spine. The upper echelons of humankind, you and I ain't in the same vicinity, so you'll never be suited for my secluded climb. This Guggenheim shit and y'all arts and crafts. Most of your peers won't come close to {the wiz}, and truth be told none of these lying cats ever had the {heart}to last. So much building got em calling me the architect. And so you'll never catch me rhyming bout my ass but my past three albums was bout astral travel but I never saw a magazine or blogger feature or market that. And the awkward fact is that I still spit spheres round your top five picks so if you calling that shit fly then I go Mach Five, seen? imma dot I's, cross t's, the call's easy. But nowadays they need a hand deciphering writing this complex so i call my first verse to every song my prosthesis. And when the introduction's over I proceed to shake up their confidence in every mc they sponsored like grand mal seizures. I'm all season. I don't give a gotdamn about a pop fan putting me inside their top ten, I do not plan to drop, bend, twerk, spread, I am here to offend your senses with some senseless sentences down in Austin at the south by showcase with a straight face at a turnt venue. And when I'm done i throw a deuce up in the atmosphere. Come in peace or you might get your Adam's apple speared. With all these sharp witted lines and verses I'm a threat to any opponents I find roaming through dem atlases. And they wonder why I can be so cavalier about it, I run with a team of champions let's be clear about it, Trust me, I can bullshit my first 12 bars then leave the final four with a winning shot that surprises everybody. Cuz im a lyrical beast in the street dem. Gods illest gladiator with a muheffing ink pen. I got Almoravids moonlighting as my henchmen, the dopest rhyme slayers from out the deep end.

Watch “NSFW (Not Safe For Weak rappers)” NOW!: http://bit.ly/NSFW_YT

The mystery goddess is finally revealed with a beautiful and colorful fashion spread-like visual, but don’t get it twisted, things are definitely (N)ot (S)afe (F)or (W)eak rappers in this week's edition of Wisdom Wednesdays. NSFW finds Sa-Roc delivering lyrical shrapnel over an energetic Sol Messiah-produced joint featuring cameo appearances by Sway In The Morning hosts Tracy G and Sway Calloway.

Directed By: Sol Messiah
 
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.

Sa-Roc - NSFW (Not Safe For Weak rappers)

Watch “Lord of the Forest” NOW!: http://bit.ly/LOTF_SC

Sa-Roc returns this Wednesday with an offering that perfectly showcases her versatility as an artist. On this newest release, the goddess MC mirrors the upbeat energy of the Sol Messiah produced track, effortlessly moving between her playful rap delivery and the smooth melodies accenting this creative tune. If "Lord of the Forest" is any indication of Sa-Roc's musical road ahead, we'd have to agree that the future's forming quite nicely indeed..


Directed By: Sol Messiah
 
Lyrics: 
Yo, this number 5, how should I begin?
Stay sword fighting all these ninjas with my mighty pen.
Destroy every 360 degrees I be in, have these despondent MCs pondering bout what might've been.
In spite of them, i made it out my 9 to 5 on bars alone.
Now I'm performing out in Brooklyn to Barcelona.
But they won't play me on the air without some auto tune, and frankly these mainstream rappers cheesy like a mascarpone. 
If you can see what I see, baby.
The future's forming nicely, lately.
16 just might be my year, maybe.
I don't think that u should take it lightly, oh no! 
Crown me now, forget the pomp and circumstances.
I don't need the accolades, just let the verses work their magic.
I'm a lavish kind of mademoiselle in silks and vintage fabrics.
Aye, the family keep a satchel full of Frantz Fanon and Faberge.
Never tangoed with a devil or a saint of latter day.  
Keep my balance with the crystals in my attaché.
You might catch me lighting palo santo in the Prada shades.
With a goddess gang chanting Om shanti in the Palisades.
I'm the epitome of critically acclaimed art.
Got everybody chatting bout the rapper named Roc.
I show up with the face painted like I'm Braveheart.
Then bury all these Hollywood careers just like a graveyard.
God body with the pen game.
Got the 120 all inside your feed and twitter mentions.
If we ain't talking bout ascension, I ain't trying hear it, I'm just buying time til we can find the fifth dimension.
Oh lawd, she getting too deep.
She probably have em astral traveling in two weeks.
The vocal patterns is activating atoms and the bastards still don't want my rhyme collaborations to leak.
And truly she a connoisseur, cuz everytime she get hold to a track, she wrecks like Tyrannosaurus.
And only plant based stay on the fork so it's kinda odd Sa always out here going for necks like she carnivorous.
Too many young bucks and asses for my taste now they finally finna learn some kind of respect for the lord of the forest.
If you like where I'm headed then get them hands high.
She so fly, I'm gon have to co-sign. 
They don't like my opinion cuz I'm so anti 
But I'm still winning by a landslide, Oh no!!!

Sa-Roc - Lord of the Forest

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?

Sa-Roc - I Come In Peace

Watch “Seven” NOW!: http://bit.ly/SaRocSeven

Sa-Roc returns this week with the 7th edition of her lyrical domination called Wisdom Wednesdays. Fittingly enough the title of this cut is "Seven". With the seventh letter in the alphabet being G, Sa-Roc proves that she is truly The Goddess MC.

Produced By: Sol Messiah
 
Lyrics: 
These bars like sharp edged weapons that leave scars.
Sever through veins and arteries martyr these bleeding hearts.
Part of me skeptical at the thought of a clean start, cuz I grew up playing the dirty dozens in seedy parks.
And ironically now I get exceeding marks in wordplay.
And a new crop of gray hairs on every birthday.
Cuz I stay worried imma snap from the pressure.
Got unprecedented urges to murder mics in the worst way.
And first Sway heard the queen drop a 24, and then y'all finally understood what I was stunting for.
I'm a formidable behemoth for the record, get em shook and disappear from off the grid to become hunting lore. 
Honey born from bittersweet beginnings; had to pay the cost.
Them sharks and crocodillos tried to make me prey-Lacoste.
But now I'm making waves with every verbal altercation, ain't nobody trying to get entangled in these famous Jaws.
A language connoisseur, got em savoring my soliloquies.
Mastering the art of every letter like calligraphy.
You can find me posted up wherever hiphop's illest be.
Showing off over the dopest of James Dilla's beats.
They want me to simmer down, think I'm too much Huey P.
But they attacking my opinions cuz the hue in me.
So imma black out on every verse I spit until anybody listening can speak Swahili fluently.
Humans think I'm so damn Gorge like the Olduvai.
Bone structure got em tryna recreate a mold of I.
It's too few originals left in the game that's why I'm trying to leave a long lasting impression on my vocal files.
The locals proud of their hometown hero.
Roc make them step up their bars like old man Ebro.
Bust a Hot97 on the air and have the whole place frozen at 30 below zero.
