Sa-Roc - The Sharecropper's Daughter (Deluxe Edition Album)
Sa-Roc releases The Sharecropper’s Daughter Deluxe, adding six new tracks to her acclaimed Rhymesayers Entertainment debut, The Sharecropper's Daughter, released in October of 2020. Available now digitally and available as a vinyl bonus disc due out in August 2021, these new songs further showcase Sa-Roc’s sharp skills as a lyricist, and her gift for captivating melodies and engaging content. The Sharecropper’s Daughter Deluxe features production from Sol Messiah and Evidence, as well as a previously unreleased guest verse from MF DOOM on “The Rebirth.”
Alongside the release is a stunning music video for the deluxe edition’s lead single, “Wild Seeds.” Directed by Aliza Brugger, the video follows the lyrical themes of “Wild Seeds,” whose verses are a testament to the beauty, mysticism, and wisdom of the elders and ancestors who’ve guided and bolstered generations of Black women through history’s assault and neglect. With a title inspired by the sci-fi novel Wild Seed by visionary author Octavia Butler, the song serves as a celebration of women such as Queen Nanny, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and many others, whose legacies inform future generations of their propensity to bloom under the harshest of conditions. "Just like wild seeds, we remain unfettered and unbroken, adding beauty and immeasurable value to a world that chooses not to acknowledge us," Sa-Roc states, "but our very existence is the only acknowledgement we require."
