You can’t talk about Tampa hip-hop without mentioning Tom G, and the rap-scene staple is bringing a very slippery party to the Greater Hillsborough County Fairgrounds this weekend. Billed as an adult water party with big water slides, slip and slides, and more, the first-ever Drip-A-Luau will feature performances from Tom G (“Wings and Fries,” “City Boy Wit It”) as well as Tae Bae, who recently emerged from eight years behind bars with “First Day Out,” where he reflects on growing up in East Tampa. Gates for this underground throwdown open at 2 p.m. If you need more hip-hop and less water out of your weekend, then read about Tampa Bay Beat Week kicking off on Friday.
Drip-A-Luau w/Tom G/Tae Bae/Ro Boy/OMN Tweezy/DJ LCM/more. Sat. June 8, 2 p.m. $20-$40. Greater Hillsborough County Fairgrounds, Tampa. eventbrite.com.
