Chicago rapper Polo G arrives fresh off the release of “For the Love of New York,” his new single with Nicki Minaj. The 22-year-old’s 2019 debut album Die A Legend was marked “Best New Album” by music aficionados at Pitchfork, and Mr. G’s still on the rise.
Also on the bill is another G–rising Windy emcee G Herbo–whose latest album 25 just debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
MTV’s “Wild ‘N Out” comedian Antonio Ramos, aka Tonio Skits, hosts the all ages outdoor show (though earmuffs for the young ones might be needed because some of those songs are a bit NSFW).
Polo G/G Herbo/Tonio Skits. Saturday, July 17, 7 p.m. $60-$100. Cuban Club Courtyard, Ybor City. eventbrite.com
