Whiskey North continues to book the newest in rap, trap and otherwise. This weekend, the Carrollwood venue welcomes Louisville’s Est Gee (stylized EST Gee). In March, fellow Kentuckian Jack Harlow released “Route 66” featuring Est Gee, which gave the 27-year-old rapper some major notability. But Gee’s solo single “Lick Back” proves he can hold his own. Plus he recently signed to Yo Gotti’s CMG Records, so pretty sure this is just the beginning.

The 18 and up show has a unique system for ticket tiers: GA ticket holders have to wait in line, then there’s “faster access into the venue” (VIP), and for $100 bucks you can skip the line all together. 

EST Gee w/DJ Dreamchaser/DJ bj305. Saturday, June 12, 10 p.m. $40-$100. Whiskey North, Tampa. eventbrite.com
