DreDay The Gift takes the stage during Roc-D-Mic at Diezelz Lounge on March 27, 2014. Preserved in the Dammit Boy Productions video archive, the performance captures a three-song live set from the Roc-D-Mic era.
The approximately ten-minute performance opens with “Trouble Don’t Last Always,” followed by “Searching for a Change” and “Hardknock Life.” Rather than presenting the footage as a modern music video, this archive entry preserves the performance as it originally happened and documents DreDay The Gift appearing in the Roc-D-Mic showcase environment.
