Another week in Tampa Bay and, no surprise, there’s another killer hip-hop show—this time with Philly rapper Cassidy headlining alongside a slew of local talent. You probably know the battle-rapper turned chart-topper from his mega hits “I’m a Hustla” and “My Drink N’ My Two Step.” (We’ll brush his first single “Hotel” featuring problematic pedo R. Kelly under the rug.)
The show starts with a two-hour “Tampa Vibez'' pre-party showcasing the area’s hottest including Perception, OG Tampa duo The Villanz, Vern Senior, Zae Ewing, Jinx, and K.III. Cassidy’s show officially starts at 9 p.m. but stay tuned to the event page for information on a private meet and greet with the condom spokesman.
Cassidy/Perception/The Villianz/Vern Senior/Zae Ewing/Jinx/K.III. Friday, Sept. 10, 7 p.m. $30-$50. Hooch and Hive, Tampa.brokenmoldentertainment.com
