– 4# Performance Artist Review Tamika J– I am going to have to sincerely thank Props and Bonds Saturday Mic Live for blowing me away with this literally surprising performance. This is the first time I have ever seen Tamika J perform to my memory. I was beyond impressed with I heard and saw that night. I really value the sincere expression of the personhood of the artist. Well, Tamika J has soul, its just that simple, even If I wanted to, I could not reduce it any further.
– 3# Performance Artist Review Young Blesson– Props and Bonds booked Young Blesson, a performer that I really like alot. The most important thing to me when I listen to, or see an artist ,is to sincerely feel I am getting that artist. Young Blesson always seems to bring himself, I’ve never seen him short change anyone on that. That is an really important and underrated quality that alot of people do not look for enough. So, that is one of the first reasons why I like Young Blesson, and as expected that night he delivered with maximal effort. Its hard not to respond to sincerity and Young Blesson‘s performance helped to bring me out of a hard mental time. His intro was very interesting and funny as he talked about his hustle.

– 1# Performance Artist Review Dermo– The first official act of the night was by Dermo. He’s tall and big man, with a good character. He came dressed in black and sported a sharp and cleanly handled beard. As imposing as his statue and figure is in a crowd, his abilities as a performer are even bigger. Dermo’s a crowd raiser, he gets people moving and acting. That’s one of the biggest performance points I took away form him. This is actually not an easy thing to do, but Dermo does it so organically. I noticed people moving their feet and responding energetically to key moments in his street witty bars. He definitely had the attention of a few ladies who were just entertained by his character (should bring out to spots to perform some homies can rebound off the shots he doesn’t chases down lol).
