How do you know that Tampa’s a hell of a town?

An up-and-coming rapper whose name includes “Kenobi” is hosting a release party for his debut album on Star Wars Day.

The New York-bred MC—who once successfully put together a “strip club anthem” called “Let Me See Sum”—has kept the details of Everything You Wanted under wraps for the most part, but has described the opening track as a “symphony [he] produced,” and one of his favorite songs on the album.

Local art, clothing, and candle vendors will be on site at the gig along with a visiting bartender with a limited time “Dark Side” old-fashioned up her sleeve.
