SA-ROC is Hip Hop. Sol Messiahh is Hip Hop.
They are the collectors, the creators, the performers, the priests, the mad scientists of Hip Hop and I became one of the converted, one night in late February of 2011.
It was a cold, dark night in Atlanta’s Little 5 Points (L5P) district; the traditionally artsy/alternative neighborhood of the ATL (think SoHo in NYC.) I was at the Journey of the Starseed album release concert at THE 5 SPOT and SA-ROC was the star. But with the likes of Starchile, staHHr, Boog Brown, Nappy Roots and Khalilah Ali in the house, much of Atlanta’s hottest underground Hip Hop perpetrators were featured as well. There was nothing but love and sweat on the stage. Sol Messiahh, SA-ROC’s Producer, worked the music that night. And together they delivered pounding, pulsating vibrations of rhythms, beats and metaphysical verse, filled with pride, passion and swagger.
Does it ever get better than this?
