NEW MUSIC | FEMALE MC SA-ROC DROPS NEW SINGLE ‘DELIVERANCE’ AND ANNOUNCES HER DEBUT ALBUM “THE SHARECROPPER’S DAUGHTER”

Sa-Roc—the emcee her­al­ded by Okay­Play­er as “one of the most for­mid­able micro­phone mavens in the game”—drops “Deliv­er­ance” and announces Octo­ber 2 as the release date for her long-awaited Rhymesay­ers Enter­tain­ment debut album The Sharecropper’s Daugh­ter.

Since sign­ing to the inde­pend­ent power­house, Sa-Roc has released a steady stream of singles, includ­ing “Forever” (with over 4 mil­lion views), “God­dess Gang,” and “Hand of God.” For “Deliv­er­ance,” she tapped label mate Evid­ence to pro­duce the track and dir­ect the bold, visu­ally strik­ing music video.

“If you want protest music for the upris­ing of the Amer­ic­an con­scious­ness, then look no fur­ther,” writes Abby O’Neill, describ­ing Sa-Roc’s power­ful per­form­ance on NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) series this June.

Indeed, Sa-Roc has spent a life­time grace­fully artic­u­lat­ing themes that have been thrust into the cen­ter of an essen­tial nation­al con­ver­sa­tion. Her forth­com­ing album is no excep­tion; on it, Sa-Roc draws fear­lessly from both his­tor­ic­al con­text and per­son­al experience.

The Sharecropper’s Daugh­ter speaks to my father’s actu­al begin­nings on a Vir­gin­ia tobacco farm where his fam­ily share­cropped,” reveals Sa-Roc.

“The title is meant to sig­ni­fy that both my father’s and my upbring­ing, though so dif­fer­ent, are linked by a shared his­tory that informs the way I move through the world… It’s a son­ic reflec­tion of the things we inher­it. About the emo­tion­al weight that we unknow­ingly bestow upon the next gen­er­a­tion; the genet­ic trans­fer of both trauma and tri­umph that we, both donors and bene­fi­ciar­ies, are tasked with reshap­ing into a future of our own.”

Guest fea­tures on The Share­crop­per­’s Daugh­ter include Saul Wil­li­ams, Styles P, Ledisi, Black Thought, and Chronixx.
