One of St. Petersburg’s most beloved hip-hop sons, Rod Wave, turned a quarter of a century old last weekend. On the heels of a cryptic new album entitled “Nostalgia,” due on Sept. 15, Rodarius Marcell Green hosts a birthday bash on Channelside Drive, described to be the first of its kind, with a plethora of currently unknown special guests.

Considering how Mr. “Street Runner” managed to get the likes of Jack Harlow and Lil Durk on his last two albums, anything up his sleeve shouldn’t end up being too much of a shock.

Tickets to see Rod Wave & Friends play Amalie Arena in Tampa on Friday, Sept. 1 are still available and start at $70.
