There’s a lot of hip-hop happening on Friday, but this is the show to be at.
The gig is not only a chance to check out some of the best beer in the Bay area at The Brutalist, but your last opportunity to see rap scene staple Gat$ before he moves to Los Angeles. What’s more is that the emcee who’s approaching a dozen big stage festival shows also has new music to share.
Thank You For Robbin’ doesn’t have a release date and is still technically cooking at Ybor City’s Iconic Sound Factory, but the album is Gat$’ most dynamic, and danceable, outing to date thanks to an abundance of melody, arrangements that flip the listener on their head, plus enough samples for a separate DJ set featuring inspiration for the works. Gat$ promises to play a little bit of it at this set that’ll span his nearly decade-long career in the Bay area rap game.
Hollowhouse and Ahrod open for Gat$ at The Brutalist in St. Petersburg on Friday, Jan. 27, and cover is $15.
