Cee-Lo Green is supposed to be back on the Tampa Riverwalk in December for a gig inside the Straz Center, but this weekend, the Goodie Mobber plays a free show just a short walk away.

The 49-year-old rapper headlines the Tampa Urban Music Festival after a slate of homegrown talent—including Jalea Lynee’, J’Nelle, and April Showers—warms up the bandshell. Enrique Merced, A&R for Xcite Entertainment, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the event is also collecting donations for hurricane relief.
