Jazz and hip-hop should work as bedfellows, but the mashup so often goes sour. That’s not the case with Micah Davis.

The 29-year-old multi-instrumentalist and songwriter better known as Masego released his self-titled sophomore album last month, and updated the “traphousejazz” that made him famous with pop music that’s not showboaty, but buoyed by effervescent rhythms and fun harmonies fit for the bedroom and club alike.

Tickets to see Masego play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, April 14 are still available and start at $29.50.
