Billboard has a TikTok chart that tracks engagement on the social media platform, and Devante McCreary is bound to be a regular there. The 25-year-old Florida rapper better known as BossMan Dlow entered that listing last week on the popularity of “Shake Dat Ass,” a twerktastic single, which he’ll surely bring to the historic district this weekend.

Tickets to see Bossman Dlow play The Ritz in Ybor City on Sunday, July 14 are sold-out.
