We donโ€™t get a lot of supergroup concerts in Tampa Bay, but half of Zoink Gang will be co-headlining his debut St. Petersburg show. J.I.Dโ€”whose latest album The Forever Story features guest spots from Lil Wayne and his pals in EarthGang, and was perhaps last yearโ€™s best rap LPโ€”has never been to the Bay at all, having mainly stuck to Rolling Loud on his Florida ventures.

Sminoโ€”who will most likely be focusing on his new album from last fall, Luv 4 Rentโ€”was at Okeechobee last year, but has also torn up the since-shuttered Ybor City Orpheum as recently as 2019.

We love our opening acts, but weโ€™re glad that the two emcees are gonna get straight to it without any warmups.

J.I.D. and Smino’s show at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Tuesday, Feb. 21 is sold-out.
