In less than one month, more than 10,000 people have plugged in and vibed out to the laid back flow and production on “White Buffalo.” The tune is the lead single from Young 40’s new EP, Young4Eva, a release he teased a couple years ago when interviewed for Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s 22 Rappers To Watch in 2022 package.

The EP’s second single, “Groovy” is quickly gaining steam, too, and the Tampa rapper already has 13 new songs mastered and ready to roll out after Young4Eva lands at this show.

Openers include some of the Bay area’s best emcees—including Jay Browne from that 22 in ‘22 list—plus drummer AJ Hall (Nas, Kid Cudi, Jack Harlow) who’s DJ-ing, and producer Maxx Forman playing host.

Tickets to Young 40’s EP release party at Crowbar in Ybor City on Saturday, Aug.5 are still available for $10.
