I will be the first to admit that certain genres of music fall outside my knowledge comfort zone. That is not to say that I am not open to all kinds of music, I just happen to be more familiar with some than I am with others. Hip hop, is one of those types of music with which I have not become well acquainted, however this Saturday night, July 16th, I have a strong feeling that is going to change.
Saturday night, Crowbar will be playing host to a hip hop showcase. A handful of talented regional and local artists (including Tampa’s own and friend of mine, Louis Junior) will be showing Ybor some of the best hip hop that Florida has to offer. Brought to you by Indie B. and Last Rights, CRUCIAL, promises to be one of the best shows of the summer.
In addition to performances by J. NiCS, Phresh James, QuESt, and the aforementioned, Louis Junior, one half of the Crate Brothers and member of the 500 Wolves, Oprah Spinfrey, will be “on the 1s and 2s”. Surprise giveaways will be provided by Renown (Ybor based clothier and boutique), and there will be numerous drink specials. Tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door, with everything set to kick off around 10pm.
So, if you are a true hip hop enthusiast or if you are like me and want to experience something new, with amazingly talented artists, do not miss out on this CRUCIAL show!
Crowbar, 1812 N. 17th Street, Ybor
