Tampa rapper Shqurria Walker has never been afraid to talk about her problems, and even turned them into her top-streamed single.
Walker, better known as K-Ruth, hits the stage with a preacher’s conviction (happens when you grow up singing in the choir) on Friday, June 3 at Tampa's Hooch and Hive.
She's joined by Asaru—a true MC, Bronx-born who writes from the heart and puts messages into all of his music—and Brilly Asher, two of Creative Loafing Tampa Bay's 22 Rappers to Watch in ‘22.
Asher has been releasing music since at least 2016 but didn’t start commanding attention until 2017 when he dropped his first official music video for “Toonami Flow.” The clip opens with a fun track inspired by Asher’s love of anime and cartoons before he drops witty lyrics throughout and references shows like “Pokémon,” “Yu-Gi-Oh!” and “Dragon Ball Z.”
