Sa roc is so underrated she is honestly one of the best rappers I've heard . That's trumping these male rappers to . Saroc is not about flashy things or money but she is about being real listen to her lyrics . Been listening since her song forever . This is what I believe an artist should be . She inspires others to be the best them they can be .
💯 my husband and I met Sa Roc and Sol Messiah at her show in Brooklyn earlier this year. She is not only an amazing MC, she has a beautiful sol. It was such an honor to meet her.
Lauryn is a Queen. Sa-Roc is a Queen. And the REAL Queens know something many Kings don't: No matter how many Queens stand before, behind, beyond or beside you, your own Queenhood is never diminished for it. That comes from inside, and you either got it or you don't. The moment you start comparing your own fire to someone else's... it's already gone.
I feel like Sa Roc is like a new generation Lauryn Hill. Like how Kobe was the new generation MJ. Obviously she’s not knew though, just slept on unfortunately
Sa-Roc's song Forever moves me to tears, I always kept it my dark secret that I would cut myself on my darkest days, now she got me embracing my scars cause they make me who I am, I've grown from my pain & blessed I survived thee darkest days. Thank you.
She is dope! I'd also like to say her producer is DOPE! All the beats were out of this world and kept up with the emotional versatility in her lyrics. Complete package here! A win for hip hop!
Yall... i literally was praying for Saroc to be on here. I'm so ecstatic to see her on this platform sharing her wondrous energy and voice. She is a real master of ceremonies.. Representing us Goddesses on Earth. Shine on em Saroc!! Talk Black to me!! Peace Love & Prosperity to us all! ♡♡♡
Absolutely 💯 In a world that's always forcing people to conform it's best to stay true to yourself. Her book collection looks amazing as well. Seen it on another video..
I have been following her for about a year. She is REAL! I'm sitting here in the early morning working on a painting and listening to this. The last song and frankly all of this set him my chest like my daily meditations. Thank you Sa-Roc and NPR.
The song forever saved my life . It helped me realize that I am worth fighting for my goals and dreams. Especially getting out of a narrsastic abusive cult relationship where all I was , was an object . Now Im the goddesses mc
Sa-Roc is the truth. Even now she continues to evolve and add layers to the value of her art and light. The change in the last song was so dope....that alone will make me listen to her for as long as she makes music. Lightning
Sa-roc can sing too??? WOW! She is so EVERYTHING! Forever is my anthem. I need that to stay lifted. Her lyrics are🔥, tone 🔥, style 🔥. Continued success, Sa-roc!
YES!! YES!! YES!! WE have been waiting for this HISTORIC moment to see Sa-Roc & DJ Sol Messiah on Tiny Desk!! WE are PROUD of the WORK of OUR brother and sister are doing to ELEVATE Hip Hop music and culture!! Please SHARE this video with your folks, let's help the WORLD to know about the Black MAGIC music they are sharing with HUMANITY, Amen! Ase'!! WORD!!! 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wouldn’t call this “black magic music”. It’s just music, don’t understand why the need to make it something bigger then is. Besides, black magic from what I understand you want to stay away from. Their is this thing call White Magic though..
Been Rocking with Sa Roc from jump, when her videos were with a low budget camera . She been tilling the land for a cool minute, good to see her reaping her harvest and enjoying the fruits of her labor .
I loved when she broke out the white sage! She's right about getting the/your energy straight Blessing us/schooling us not only lyrically but spiritually! That look/stance after the tiny violin plays, 2:00, killer! Much respect!!
Great choice NPR. Spreading Sa-Roc’s energy, voice & message through the ear-waves... Sa-Roc is technically the best lyricist that comes to mind from recent times. I’m also a fan of Young M.A, who’s lyrically tight too. Nowadays, I have to notice & consider how music makes me feel & the kind of desires & behaviours it triggers in me. A lot of rap I like is now a guilty pleasure as it makes me want to be all kinds of reckless while driving a car too fast at 3am on some highway. In my older-age, I realize it prompts those thoughts & resist the suggestions. Sa-Roc on the other hand is just a pure pleasure that makes me want to stand in my power, be & do better ❤️🧘🏻♀️ More of this woman taking up space on media channels, in hearts, ears, minds & in the world please 🌍
I have so much love and appreciation for you Sa-Roc and Sol Messiah. Not only do you make beautiful music, and are lyrically one of the best rappers, but you bring such positivity into this world. Please continue shinning your light on the world for all to see, and I will catch you at your next Seattle show once it's safe to. Thank you
Bout time people caught up!!! Sa-Roc is and has been one of the illest spitters in tha game! Male, female, alien don't matter. She has bars for hectares! Paradigm shift in the making. NO GIMMICKS! Just beat and effervescent flow. Hotep goddess
Sa-Roc and Sol Messiah are the absolute perfect blend of conscious rap + revolution + hardcore + soulful + crate digging + Bboy/girl culture + wisdom + healthy living + KOS + humble creative power. I slept on them for so long.
Every hair on my body stood up when Forever came on. This woman is LIFE. I'm crying tears of gratification & joy. The alignment is real. Bless you, Roc 💜
One of the best MCs out right now. Saw her open for Brother Ali in 2016 and was like, WOW, who is this? No hype man -- vocal power, breath control, flow, great lyrics. What more do you want?
She gives off the old school feel of hip hop. Im having Dejavue's or feelings of nostalgia from childhood listening to her. True Lyricist and beautiful at the same time.
Recently I was lucky enough to catch this strong and talented woman perform in Montreal along side Rapsody. I have to say Sa-Roc is a very humble and warm person to converse with as well. ☝️💚
Still one of my fav Tiny Desk performances!!! Sa-Roc is the Queen!!! She does not miss!!!💙💙💙❤️❤️❤️ Easily one of the best and most consistent artists out!!! She is a true genius!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑👑👑👑💯💯💯🎵🎵 Sending blessings and love to everyone reading this!!!🙏🙏❤️❤️💖💖
OMG. Talk about being Right On Time. I'm Thankful for u, Sa-Roc and Tiny Desk for bringing her to us. I was so drained... but now I'm REenergized!!💪🏾🧠🙏🏿
Sa-Roc is the truth!!! Saw her live on stage in Brooklyn, such a talented artist who reps hard-core Hip Hop!!! Props 2 her d.j. Sol Messiah also. I didn't think classic lps could drop again. Mad blessings!!!
Thank you sister and brother family our ancestors fire is resonating and I must say I thank God for saving you for us for this special moment God bless💪✊🙇🙏🗣️🤦🙅💂ANNUNAKIRETURN # NIBIRU # NINMAH # LAWS OF MAAT
It’s so refreshing seeing artists maintain the lyrical aspect of hip hop in this era where antics and ig live rants matter more to many fans than the music. Thank you for this.
When I found out SaRoc had a tiny desk no lie I cried... This Goddess is EVERYTHING!!! In a world of music that lacks substance.... here she is. The manifestation... of greatness. I have 4 daughters and Hip Hop is life in my house. She is exactly what OUR daughters need. Thank you SaRoc. Please keep creating. The world needs you-Hand of God!! Thank you tiny desk!! Thank you ancestors!! ✌🏾
Her personality is so soothing. I am almost tension free and just vibing and enjoying this performance and being educated at the same time. Love to the producer as well.
maaate my soul rite now, ummm u know when your watching a human completely in there power expressing there soul feels my heart with joy, these beautiful frequencies! so much chillz, food for the soul! my brother just introduced me to you today an i just lit some sage before i put this on, Namaste Goddess i appreciate you!
Found out about her when she opened an Aesop Rock concert and her lyricism blew my mind, had as much fun at her set as Aesops. Sooooo glad she has a tiny desk under her belt now she absolutely deserves it
Kudos and Blessings to Sa Roc and Sol Messiah. It’s such a gift to see this level of artistry, I’ve inhaled everything Sa Roc over the past few months and there aren’t enough superlatives to describe her but the look of awe and admiration Sol Messiah gives her, is a close enough translation 🙏🏾 stay blessed
Sa-Roc been the truth. If this is your first time hearing her...welcome to hip hop! 💙
Clearly I've been missing out
Word. I fux with her too. Everytime I play her around my friends, they ask the same question, "Who's this?"
Me: "I keep telling you Sa-Roc!"
Ze truth. I’ve been on to her for a couple years now, and every time is doper than the last.
Too dope.
My first time and am like whot? This is the fire on ice!
Too much real life...Same!!
The definition of being slept on, beyond all recognition
Flo Fokuz
Not slept on she doesn’t promote stupidity
Absolutely
no lie
Super slept on
Joe from DC bro.... 45k views? On a NPR “desk” concert? Underrated asf

💯 my husband and I met Sa Roc and Sol Messiah at her show in Brooklyn earlier this year. She is not only an amazing MC, she has a beautiful sol. It was such an honor to meet her.
@@Locustmusic STILL!
For me, no female emcee has ever come close to the talent and genius of Ms Lauryn Hill...today I salute SaRoc 🔥🔥🔥.... I stan
Lauryn is a Queen. Sa-Roc is a Queen. And the REAL Queens know something many Kings don't: No matter how many Queens stand before, behind, beyond or beside you, your own Queenhood is never diminished for it. That comes from inside, and you either got it or you don't. The moment you start comparing your own fire to someone else's... it's already gone.
@@AstralMarmot AYE 🔥🔥🔥
yup!
Her music is pure therapy. Her whole existence is just beautiful.
Nutrition for the soul
Man, Sa Roc got the bars and the singing pipes, multi-talented queen!
Too slept on. This was needed.
I feel like Sa Roc is like a new generation Lauryn Hill. Like how Kobe was the new generation MJ. Obviously she’s not knew though, just slept on unfortunately
Right!! Her music is amazing and she’s slept on...
Sa-Roc's song Forever moves me to tears, I always kept it my dark secret that I would cut myself on my darkest days, now she got me embracing my scars cause they make me who I am, I've grown from my pain & blessed I survived thee darkest days. Thank you.

I caught the last show in Charlotte, probably one of the last concerts this year smh, def blessed to have seen her and Rapsody. 👑👑
Hoping to catch her real soon, have been on the Sa-Roc train for a long time, we need a live tiny desk with Sa-Roc!!
SA-ROC IS THE QUEEN. This version of FOREVER is amazing.
Hands down one the best rap artist to date. Forever is my anthem.

YASSSSS! They are EVERYTHING!😍😭😻😻😻🥰
I wouldn’t call this “black magic music”.
It’s just music, don’t understand why the need to make it something bigger then is.
Besides, black magic from what I understand you want to stay away from.
Their is this thing call White Magic though..
IMO she sounds better live✨
It is blowing my mind that this was live - her breath control is insane - STR8 SPIT!
God love & bless the Souls of the black folks, Sa-Roc, authenic beauty of spirit~RISE~!!!
Everytime I'm almost done with hip hop I find artist like these ❤
Been Rocking with Sa Roc from jump, when her videos were with a low budget camera . She been tilling the land for a cool minute, good to see her reaping her harvest and enjoying the fruits of her labor .
This is my first time hearing Hand of God. I will be playing this all day!
I loved when she broke out the white sage! She's right about getting the/your energy straight Blessing us/schooling us not only lyrically but spiritually! That look/stance after the tiny violin plays, 2:00, killer! Much respect!!
Beauty, brains and lyrical skills what more can a person ask for.

So happy to see this!!! My favorite lyricist!!! Great job as usual, Sa-Roc!!!
So many bars. She is a beast with it.
She gives off the old school feel of hip hop. Im having Dejavue's or feelings of nostalgia from childhood listening to her. True Lyricist and beautiful at the same time.

it's so fun to discover an artist that automatically becomes one of your all time faves
So many people sleep on Rhymesayers Entertainment. But they are one of the most legit labels out there right now.

So Organic..yes sis!
Even if you don't generally like rap, the 2nd song, "Hand of God," was very moving, both musically and lyrically.
even if you don't like rap or hip hop, you gotta recognize the talent and care for the craft that comes from Sa-Roc. Dead on man!
This is the type of hip hop we need right now. Thank you Sa-Roc 🙏🏾
It’s so refreshing seeing artists maintain the lyrical aspect of hip hop in this era where antics and ig live rants matter more to many fans than the music. Thank you for this.
Sa-roc and Rapsody should make a album together
The 🌎 ain't ready for that
Marcus Evans they already went on tour together
That just might make the Sun bleed.
Sa-Roc, Rapsody and Jean Grae should be in a group together.
Now that would be 🔥
When I found out SaRoc had a tiny desk no lie I cried... This Goddess is EVERYTHING!!! In a world of music that lacks substance.... here she is. The manifestation... of greatness. I have 4 daughters and Hip Hop is life in my house. She is exactly what OUR daughters need. Thank you SaRoc. Please keep creating. The world needs you-Hand of God!! Thank you tiny desk!! Thank you ancestors!! ✌🏾
"Forever" lives in my heart forever since it came out on rhymesayers entertainment
glad you made it here!
Her personality is so soothing. I am almost tension free and just vibing and enjoying this performance and being educated at the same time. Love to the producer as well.
So glad to see her on this platform! Been a fan for a while now.
she hits in my headphones: her thoughts, her voice, her sound.
maaate my soul rite now, ummm u know when your watching a human completely in there power expressing there soul feels my heart with joy, these beautiful frequencies! so much chillz, food for the soul! my brother just introduced me to you today an i just lit some sage before i put this on, Namaste Goddess i appreciate you!
Sa Roc is really the Goddess MC. Thank you Queen.
Yay! 🎶 🎶 🎉🎊🎉🎊🎤So happy and exhilarated to see SaRoc! I hit play immediately! 💖💖💖💖 Been listening to her for 10yrs now
Sa roc is the total package. A true talent and beautiful AF!!
Bars on bars on bars her flow is mesmerizing and glad she is on rhymesayers doing her thing
Absolutely amazing. Classy, intelligent and true. Thank you Saroc, we needed this.
Sa-Roc got this Tobe Nwigwe vibe, she dope
shocked to see her on here because she's not mainstream but she's the voice thats needed
Found out about her when she opened an Aesop Rock concert and her lyricism blew my mind, had as much fun at her set as Aesops. Sooooo glad she has a tiny desk under her belt now she absolutely deserves it
Forever, was in my Meditation this morning. Sa Roc and Jamilla have been a my motivation. ✨💜✨ Queen Mucic for Queens
💯Finally a performance from
Sa Roc👑 🎙️on Tiny Desk!
🙏🏽Perfect timing ⌛
Kudos and Blessings to Sa Roc and Sol Messiah. It’s such a gift to see this level of artistry, I’ve inhaled everything Sa Roc over the past few months and there aren’t enough superlatives to describe her but the look of awe and admiration Sol Messiah gives her, is a close enough translation 🙏🏾 stay blessed
