Fredo Bang has bounced back from a 2016 attempted second-degree murder charge to become one of Southern hip-hop’s most celebrated MCs.

“Jail showed me what’s important,” the Baton Rouge native told FADER seven months after his release in the fall of 2018. “Let me make my music. Let me feed my family… You either learn, or you lose. It’s as simple as that.”

Fredo Bang. Sat., June 22. 7 p.m. $20 & up. Pegasus Night Club, Tampa. ticketweb.com.
