Sa-Roc, a Washington, D.C. emcee, is the second woman signed to the Minneapolis-based hip-hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment. Watch her perform two tracks from her upcoming album, 'The Sharecropper's Daughter.' 👇
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit — stripped-down sets, an intimate setting — just a different space.
If you want protest music for the uprising of the American consciousness, then look no further. Sa-Roc is an emcee from southeast Washington, D.C., and the second woman signed to Minneapolis-based hip-hop label Rhymesayers Entertainment, home to Atmosphere and Brother Ali among many others.
Sa-Roc bears her heart and soul here, weaving together influential threads from her upbringing; Pan-Africanism, the hardship of her father's experience as a sharecropper in Virginia and her own childhood in Congress Heights, D.C., an area ravaged by violence and the crack epidemic in the 1980s. On"rvolution" she spits bars:"Embedded in the home of the brave, the darkest of interiors.
"Music I was exposed to, as well as their ideology, was all politically minded and African centered," she expressed to me on the phone."The culture of DC go-go, Gil Scott Heron, and The Last Poets shaped me." Sa-Roc is a modern day griot whose aura radiates calm in a world of chaos. This Tiny Desk concert is as close as it gets to required viewing.
