Last Friday, WNYO held its annual concert at the Village Commons. Two local artists, Robert Dawkins and Lucki Caesar, opened up for NawtyBoi Nyt. These amazing artists had their time to shine when they each performed multiple songs. The crowd enjoyed the music as well as the outgoing and bubbly host, Emily Santos. She introduced each artist wonderfully and gave out T-shirts and drawstring bags to those who answered her trivia questions.

This event proves that Oswego State has extraordinary talent that can sometimes go unnoticed. Robert Dawkins was one artist who performed at the concert. Dawkins said performing was exhilarating.

“Just being able to share my craft with the crowd and making myself that vulnerable to feedback was new and exciting, especially since I’m still new at performing,” Dawkins said. “I still had an amazing time though and I look forward to performing at other venues as well as establishing a fanbase.”

The masters of ceremony told vivid details of their life, rapping lyrics that were inspired by their upbringing and the environment in which they were raised, in addition to their trials and tribulations of the present day. The crowd welcomed each artist’s unique style and supported everyone, which was reassuring to new performers. The DJ was also very impressive with how he transitioned between each performance and the music he played within breaks kept everyone interested in the event overall.

The main event of the show, NawtyBoi Nyt, was amazing. His vocals were great and so were the words behind his songs. The beats that he chose were appropriate to his music and flowed well.
