On the latest season of their Saturday Sermons series, Beatsnchill’s Scott Arana (aka Scott Ayxe) & Derrick “Hmtwn” Hernandez shone light on some of the very best that Tampa Bay’s hip-hop scene has to offer (they even got sought-after Tampa producer Jordan Patrick to rap).

For this show that’s easily the best rap show in this weekend, the series comes offline for a bonafide showcase of the scene’s up-and-comingest emcees, plus local favorites, too.

Tickets to see Taylor Moon, Young 40 and more play the Music Hall inside Tampa’s New World Brewery on Saturday, Dec. 23 are still available and cost $15.
