Four years after playing a tiny nightclub show in Tampa, Lil Poppa is not so little anymore (he’s 25 now guys), and playing a much bigger show on his “Almost Normal Again” tour.

Expect the Jacksonville rapper to tease a forthcoming full-length that includes catchy hits (“Start Trippin”) plus raw and confessional cuts like “I Hate You” about his hard upbringing in north Florida.

Tickets to see Lil Poppa play The Ritz in Ybor City on Tuesday, June 17 are still available and start at $41.25.
