C-Clain performs live at Roc-D-Mic Fridays at Club Yakum in Houston, Texas, on September 26, 2014. Preserved in the DBTV archive, the footage captures C-Clain during the Club Yakum chapter of the recurring Houston independent hip-hop showcase.
The 12:09 performance documents a three-song set. C-Clain opens with “Champion” at 0:00, followed by “Party Hard” at approximately 3:42 and “Groupies” at approximately 7:25.
The surviving recording captures C-Clain performing directly in front of the Roc-D-Mic crowd and preserves an early dated example of his participation in Houston’s independent live-performance circuit.
Hosted by Wickett Crickett, Roc-D-Mic provided independent artists with a recurring platform to perform live in Houston. During the Club Yakum period, Dammit Boy Productions became increasingly involved with the events, with Tre Dizzle working Roc-D-Mic as a DJ in addition to participating as an artist.
C-Clain’s September appearance is part of the surviving DBTV footage documenting the artists who performed on the Roc-D-Mic stage during this period.
This performance was filmed September 26, 2014 and originally published December 18, 2014. It predates C-Clain’s January 2, 2015 Roc-D-Mic performance preserved elsewhere in the DBTV archive.
The two surviving performances provide separate dated records of C-Clain appearing at Club Yakum and also document the evolution of his live set: “Groupies” appears in both performances, while the remaining songs differ between the September 2014 and January 2015 recordings.
The footage also predates C-Clain’s later documented work connected to Mr 1000 and Littified, helping establish an earlier point in his Houston performance history preserved by DBTV.
Preserved through the DBTV archive, this September 26, 2014 performance documents C-Clain, Wickett Crickett’s Roc-D-Mic platform, Club Yakum, and Dammit Boy Productions during an active period in Houston’s independent hip-hop scene.
Viewed alongside C-Clain’s January 2, 2015 performance and the other surviving Roc-D-Mic recordings, the footage contributes to a chronological record of the artists, songs, venues, performances, and relationships connected to Dammit Boy Productions and Houston independent hip-hop during the mid-2010s.
