Reddstone performs live at Club Yakum in Houston, Texas, during the December 5, 2014 edition of Roc-D-Mic Fridays. The surviving performance footage is part of the Dammit Boy Productions video archive documenting Houston artists, venues, showcases, and independent hip-hop culture.
Roc-D-Mic provided a live showcase environment for artists appearing before Houston audiences. Wickett Crickett hosted the series, bringing performers together at venues around the city and creating opportunities for established and developing artists to share the stage.
The December 5 showcase at Club Yakum is represented in the DBP archive by several surviving individual performance videos. Rather than presenting the night as a single edited concert, these recordings preserve portions of the event through the artists who appeared onstage.
This video captures approximately six minutes of Reddstone’s performance from the December showcase. The footage retains the atmosphere of the original club presentation and provides a direct visual record of the artist appearing as part of the Roc-D-Mic series.
Club Yakum became one of the venues represented repeatedly in the surviving Roc-D-Mic archive. Dammit Boy Productions documented performances there across multiple dates in 2014 and early 2015, creating a collection that now provides a snapshot of Houston’s independent performance circuit during that period.
These recordings are preserved as archival material rather than reconstructed contemporary performances. Original footage, event information, related artist records, and surviving promotional material are being organized together within the DBP archive so individual videos can be viewed in the context of the events from which they originated.
The December 5, 2014 footage contributes to a larger record of Roc-D-Mic Fridays and Wickett Crickett’s role within Houston’s live hip-hop community. Preserving individual performances alongside their event dates and venue relationships allows the archive to document not only the music, but also the network of artists, hosts, venues, and showcases surrounding it.
