Gat$

Expat Tampa rapper Robb Gats went from the Sunshine State to California and recently landed a golden opportunity with Equity Distribution, a Roc Nation platform that’s also home to Kool G Rap, Pink Siifu, Fly Anakin, and Roc Marciano.

EQ signed Gat$ to a multi-project independent deal this year, and helped him form Robbafella Records.

On Thursday, May 1, for the first of two homecoming shows, Gat$ plays a more family-friendly, smooth set at the Rock The Park Tampa before heading to Ybor City where he will likely pop up at Crowbar’s Ol’ Dirty Sundays for a set of harder tracks from his latest outing, Thank You For Robbin’.

There's no cover to see Gat$ play Rock The Park at Tampa's Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, and it's a $5 cover to get into Ol' Dirty Sundays at Crowbar.
