At this point, if you’ve lived in Tampa Bay for more than a year and have still never seen local hip-hop jack-of-all-trades Pusha Preme live in some capacity, you haven’t lived.

During an appearance at Shuffle’s weekly “Remix” open mic night this week, the masked Mr. “Billboard” (who has actually seen a compilation EP he appeared on make the top 20 on Billboard’s Compilations chart) will give a Q&A that promises to focus on marketing, the music industry as a whole, and, according to his social media, “how to fund your dreams.”

Don’t be too surprised if the topic of philanthropy comes up, as he can often be seen taking part in book and clothing drives for kids, too.

There’s no cover for the “Remix” open mic every Tuesday at Tampa Shuffle.
