– 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).

One of the problems I noticed with Dermo‘s music was not as much on him but more a fault with the audience and the current state of casual Hip Hop consumers. Alot of people focus on the beat,  flow and the vocals but not the artist content. So the lyrics, the schemes and the meanings in the art usually don’t seem to get focused on by audience members generally. This is sad because Dermo has some really terrific lines; I mean they had me thinking deeper than I do for most other artist.

Its very common for people to see a guy that big from the South and think he doesn’t have bars  Also that his schemes are probably weak.  Dermo easily breaks that silly stereotype apart, his bars and schemes are better than most rappers in the game and or on the street.

I really liked Dermo‘s set, he really knew how to get the audience involved and he has a lot of natural /polished skill. I really do still think he can get better. Honestly would like to see him at future shows.

-A solid note is that I need more music from Dermo. He needs to be taping himself at freestyle sessions and releasing more of his EPs.
