Nathan Jarvis is a better rapper than skateboarder, which’ll bode well at New World where there’s really nowhere to push a board around anyway.

For fans of RA The Rugged Man and Masta Ace, the 31-year-old Brooklyn-based emcee better known jas Jarv is also a producer who can beat off with the best of them.

He’s in Tampa on the heels of a new boom-bap, one-take single, “Rap 101,” as he kicks off a month-long tour of the Southeast, Midwest and Eastern Seaboard.

Tickets to see Jarv play New World Brewery in Tampa on Thursday, Jan. 23 are still available and start at $15.
