December concert from Wu-Tang Clan co-founder Raekown among best new concerts coming to Tampa Bay

Two months after bringing his band’s farewell tour through town, Raekwon already has plans to come back to Tampa Bay.

The Wu-Tang Clan co-founder announced a new tour this month, and it includes two stops in Florida.

The show is a co-headlining gig with Mobb Deep, which just played a sold-out show in Ybor City last weekend.

“Me and Havoc from Mobb will be pure hip-hop at its finest. This is gonna take rap shows to the next level—guaranteed,” Raekwon wrote in a statement about the tour celebrating 30th anniversaries for his solo album Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… and Mobb Deep’s The Infamous.

The 55-year-old Brooklyn-born rapper, who also just released a new album, The Emperor’s New Clothes, appears twice on The Infamous, so expect a lot of onstage collaboration at this one.

Tickets to see Raekwon and Mobb Deep play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg, Florida on Sunday, Dec. 14 are still available and start at $63.
