The LaRon James of hip-hop is coming to Tampa this weekend (that’s Juelz Santana’s real name), making it two old-school Big Apple emcees headed our way (Homeboy Sandman plays Friday).

Santana, most famous for his work with Dipset, helped Cam’ron score a hit single in 2002 (“Hey Ma”) and lands at this Sulphur Springs hotspot alongside local rap heavyweights like Pusha Preme and Famous Kid Brick.

Tickets to see Juelz Santana at Club Play in Tampa on Sunday, Feb. 5 are still available for $20-$30.
