Check the latest visual ‘Goddess Gang’ from Sa-Roc the Goddess MC as she comes hard with bars for days in this one! Throughout the Sol Messiah produced banger, Sa-Roc rejects conventional expectations of female rappers so prevalent within the industry, demanding to be judged not on her appearance, but lyrical skill alone.
Sa-Roc is currently on a European Tour with Dynasty (No UK dates Boo) but our Euro friends check the dates below and she is also in the midst of finishing up her Rhymesayers Entertainment full-length debut— due early 2019.
Check the latest visual for Jam Baxter’s heavy track ‘Saliva’. Released via High Focus Records the psychedelic and abstract track is paired with breathtaking visuals filmed in Spain. Produced by fellow Dead Player GhostTown, ‘Saliva’ is taken from his forthcoming project ‘Touching Scenes’.
Baxter is upping the levels and setting a high precedent for what’s to come from ‘Touching Scenes’ – which lands on the 16th of November 2018 and features friends Stinkin Slumrok, Rag’n’Bone Man, OG Rootz FKA Durrty Goodz, Kate Tempest and Rhi.
Check the video for the Freddie Gibbs track “Death Row” that comes with a nostalgic sound to the instrumental and features 03 Greedo.
The Visual also comes with a message of support to 03 Greedo, who features on the tail end of the track with his own twist of Eazy-E’s “Boyz-N-Da-Hood.” and who is himself currently facing up to twenty years imprisonment in a Texas jailhouse. The visual was shot before 03 Greedo handed himself in to authorities

UK Producer/artist Configa and director/editor Nick Light pay tribute to the late, great John “Vietnam” Nguyen on this poignant docu-style music video.
The story of a young talent, taken far too soon, is told by expertly weaving together two singles “What’s Your Story” and “Be Like That” along with historical footage. This is an incredible and moving tribute to an extraordinary talent.
The tracks are taken from the critically acclaimed Configa album “Configaration Volume 1” (#CV1) now available on Chuck D’s SlamJamz Records.
