Sa Roc

Sa Roc is an American rapper and poet from Washington, D.C., performing a rap concert at Band On The Wall in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Sa Roc has been active since 2002 and is linked to the Rhymesayers Entertainment label. The work is built on powerful lyricism, with conscious storytelling and socially charged themes at its centre. Among the records associated with this artist is The Sharecropper's Daughter, while the first album, Supernova, was released in 2013.

The concert is a rap performance, a style that puts the lyrics and the narrative of each song at the forefront. Sa Roc's background in Washington, D.C. and association with an independent hip hop label place the music within a tradition of socially engaged writing.

Band On The Wall is a live music venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter. It mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie, so this rap evening sits outside the venue's usual emphasis.
